Artistic landscape photography : a series of chapters on the practical and theoretical principles of pictorial composition

Wall, Alfred H · 1896 · Bradford ; London : P. Lund · 1 picture

Artistic landscape photography is a late nineteenth-century instruction book on pictorial composition in photography, written by Alfred H. Wall and published in Bradford and London by P. Lund in 1896 for amateur and practising photographers. The single plate shown is a rotated black-and-white photograph of a rocky hillside with a sparse tree on the left and a distant valley, captioned as a photograph by E. P. Ollson, and it suggests how a designer might use diagonal masses and open sky to balance a composition.
