Photo-era
Photo-Era is a photography periodical published in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1898 for amateur and professional photographers. Its pages are halftone photographs of landscapes and architecture, with the wooded mill pond, a stone doorway with steps, a moored rowboat by the shore, and a curving railway cut showing the range of subjects amateurs were encouraged to shoot in soft tonal reproduction that a designer could use as a reference for atmospheric, low-contrast monochrome imagery.
