Picturesque bits of New York and other studies / by Alfred Stieglitz

Stieglitz, Alfred, 1864-1946 · 1897 · New York : R. H. Russell · 9 pictures

A photogravure book of picturesque views of New York and other subjects, made by the photographer Alfred Stieglitz and published in New York by R. H. Russell in 1897 for readers interested in artistic photography. The plates are rotated on the page in this scan, so the views appear sideways. They show soft-focus street scenes, a canal-side building with arched windows, a cart and figures along a tree-lined road, and a night scene of bare trees and lit windows reflected in water, offering a designer tonal, atmospheric photographic compositions with strong dark and light contrast.
