Photo-era
Photo-era is a Boston periodical of 1898 from the Photo Era Publishing Company, written for amateur and working photographers interested in pictorial technique. Its plates are halftone reproductions of photographs by American pictorialists, several rotated on the page, including a waterfall, a misty hillside of conifers, and a dusk view over water with bare trees. A designer could take from them the soft-focus tonal atmosphere and loose, painterly composition typical of turn-of-the-century pictorial photography.
