George Davison (1855-1930) was a British photographer who played a significant role in promoting naturalism and pictorial photography during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Davison's work was known for its soft-focus, dreamy quality, and he often used natural settings as his subjects.

One of Davison's most notable contributions to photography was his use of the photogravure process, which allowed photographers to create high-quality prints with remarkable detail and tonality. Davison was a master of this technique, and his photogravures were highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Davison was also a key figure in the formation of the Linked Ring, a group of photographers dedicated to advancing the art of photography and promoting it as a fine art form. Through his work and advocacy, Davison helped establish photography as a legitimate art form, and his legacy continues to influence photographers and artists today.
