Henry Peach Robinson was a leading writer and exponent of an approach to photography that was based on literary inspiration and the emulation of painting. Robinson portrayed pastoral landscapes or staged picturesque, narrative scenes of such stories as the Brothers Grimm's Little Red Riding Hood , which were immensely popular with Victorian audiences. In this tableau, Robinson carefully arranged his models to illustrate the safe return home of Little Red Riding Hood and to emphasize the story's moral of innocence and obedience.
