Die bildmässige Photographie : eine Sammlung von Kunstphotographieen mit begleitendem Text in deutscher und holländischer Ausgabe
A 1904 German pictorialist photography collection by Fritz Matthies-Masuren, published in Halle an der Saale by Wilhelm Knapp, with text in German and Dutch for art-photography enthusiasts. The four plates show narrow old European streets, half-timbered houses, an archway and a curving cobbled lane with figures in dark clothing, rendered in soft tonal gradations. A designer might take from them the atmospheric hazy light, deep shadow falling across streets, and the way worn architecture and lone figures create quiet mood.
