Photo-era
Photo-era is a Boston photography periodical published in 1898 by the Photo Era Publishing Company, aimed at amateur and working photographers. Its pages are rotated-scan halftone plates of landscapes, a railway scene, and an interior with a seated figure, each captioned with the photographer's name and a plate number. A designer might take from them the soft tonal range, cropped horizon lines, and the tight framing typical of late nineteenth-century camera work.
