Tenth annual exhibition of the Capital Camera Club : April 22d to 30th, 1901, in the Hemicycle hall of the Corcoran Gallery of Art
A 1901 exhibition catalogue from the Capital Camera Club of Washington, D.C., printed for its tenth annual show in the Corcoran Gallery's Hemicycle hall, presenting amateur photographs as halftone plates with captions naming their makers. The pictures are soft-focus pictorialist landscapes and a figure study, many printed sideways, alongside a line engraving of a folding plate camera; a designer might take their misty tonal gradations, dark silhouetted trees, and quiet rural compositions as models for atmospheric, low-contrast imagery.
