 A History of Photography, by Robert Leggat: ROBINSON, Henry Peach
Henry Peach Robinson was a pioneer of pictorialist photography, earned the term "the King of photographic picture-making", and was certainly one of the greatest photographers of his time.
One critic said that Robinson had cashed in on "the most painful sentiments which it is the lot of human beings to experience." It would seem that it was perfectly in order for painters to paint pictures on such themes, but not for photographers to do so.
Purely as a light incidental comment, Robinson married in 1859, his wife recalling in later years that when they were married, she had been told in no unequivocal terms that it must be "photography first, wife afterwards", so she may have the distinction of being the first recorded photographic widow!

 Sylvia E. Bowman Award, Robert V. Robinson
When a faculty member becomes chair of a department, he or she might be expected to relinquish what are sometimes considered "undesirable" teaching obligations—namely, large, introductory lecture classes of several hundred undergraduate students.
Rather than relinquish, however, Robert Robinson relishes the experience of teaching "S100: Introduction to Sociology," a class that regularly packs hundreds of students into some of IU Bloomington's largest lecture halls.
Whether leading a large course of several hundred undergraduate students or spurring discussion among fewer than a dozen students in a graduate seminar, Robinson is admired for his infectious enthusiasm for sociological study, his unabashed love of teaching and his consistent "cheerleading" of students.
