Picture making in the studio by photography : with supplementary chapters on the business of portrait photography and individuality in photography
A photography manual by H. P. Robinson, published in New York by Scovill & Adams in 1892, covering artistic studio picture-making and the portrait business. The pictures here are not photographs but decorative headpieces and tailpieces in black-and-white printed ornament, with interlaced scrolls, acanthus leaves, winged figures and a central profile medallion. A designer could take from them classical border strips, symmetrical scrollwork, and framing devices for book pages or panels.
