Description: Here we see an image of the ‘Bronte Waterfall’. It is located in West York, near Haworth, England. It is part of the moorland and farmland nicknamed ‘Bronte Country’, a region of West York, south of the Pennine Hills, where the Bronte sisters wrote their most famous works. The image is a reproduction of a photograph using a technique called photogravure, where photographs are taken on plates which could then be etched on to create a plate for use in a printing press.
