Miss America; pen and camera sketches of the American girl ... With designs and photographic illustrations by the author
Miss America is a 1898 New York book by Alexander Black, published by C. Scribner's Sons, combining his pen sketches and camera portraits of the American girl. The photographic plates show women posed in period dresses, one seated in a studio with a dark backdrop, another in profile with an upswept hairstyle, another standing in a garden, and an oval portrait with decorative vine borders, offering a designer reference for turn-of-the-century portrait framing and sepia tonal studio lighting.
