Rivista di astronomia e scienze affini, 1912, a. 6, n. 02 (February)

Società astronomica italiana, Osservatorio astronomico di Torino · 1912 · 19 pictures

An Italian astronomy periodical, the Rivista di astronomia e scienze affini, issued in 1912 by the Società astronomica italiana with the Turin observatory, for a scholarly readership of astronomers and scientists. Its plates show high-altitude mountain observatories and snowbound summit stations, photographed in plain monochrome halftone, and a designer could draw on their stark white snow fields, rough rock outcrops and small isolated stone buildings for landscapes that convey remoteness and cold.
