Sunlight and shadow; a book for photographers, amateur and professional
A photography instruction book by W. I. Lincoln Adams, published in New York by Baker & Taylor in 1897 for amateur and professional photographers. Its plates are tonal landscape photographs, several of them captioned with the photographer's name, showing rural scenes in soft focus with an emphasis on atmosphere; a designer could take from them the quiet, low-contrast treatment of water, reeds and winter fields as a model for muted nature imagery.
