Photography and fine art

Bailey, Henry Turner, 1865-1931 · 1918 · Worcester, Mass., The Davis press · 33 pictures

Photography and Fine Art is a 1918 photography treatise by Henry Turner Bailey, published by The Davis Press in Worcester, Massachusetts, for photographers and art students. Its plates are black-and-white photographs of rural lanes, a village spire, a rambling house, and a garden wall, showing how composition, tonal range and simple subjects can carry an image. A designer might take from them the value of strong diagonal roads leading into the frame and the quiet, low-contrast mood of landscape views.
