The Practical photographer; an illustrated monthly of technical photography
The Practical Photographer is a monthly periodical on technical photography, published in Boston in 1904 by the Photo-Era Publishing Company for amateur and professional photographers. Its plates are photographic reproductions of pictorial prints: a farmyard scene with a figure and horses, a washing day interior with a woman at a tub and a barrel, a vignetted glycerine development view of a cottage garden, and a pastoral study of sheep under a tree at dusk. A designer might take from them the soft tonal range, the vignetted edges and the early pictorialist treatment of rural life.
