By Mountain, Lake, and Plain
By Mountain, Lake, and Plain is a 1911 travel book by R. L. Kennion, published by William Blackwood and Son in Edinburgh for general readers interested in sport and wandering abroad. Its black-and-white photographs show Sikkimese and Himalayan scenes: a group of figures on open ground, a stone-walled dwelling, and a craggy, tree-lined slope rendered in dark tones. A designer might take from them the grainy, high-contrast look of early tonal photography and the texture of rock and foliage.
