J(ohn) Dudley Johnston (1868-1955), elected to the Linked Ring Brotherhood in 1907, was a highly respected pictorial photographer working with what we now call alternative processes — gum-bichromate and platinum printing among them. The Linked Ring was the U.K. counterpart to the Photo-Secession founded by Alfred Stieglitz in the States. In her study The Linked Ring: The Secession Movement in Photography in Britain, 1892 – 1910, Margaret Harker identified Johnston as a leading Secessionist, stating that “The more adventurous of the Secessionists explored the visual world afresh, breaking away from what had become established forms of picture making by photography.” Most of Johnston’s photographic work is to be found in the collection of the Royal Photographic Society
