Excerpt from The Fine Art of PhotographyThe author's thanks are due to Mr. Henry R. Poore, for permission to make use of the conclusions set forth by him in his exceedingly valuable work, Pictorial Composition and the Critical Judgment of Pictures to Mr. Bertrand H. Wentworth for the admirable discussion of marine photography given in Chapter IX, and to the photographers who have so kindly furnished the prints which have been used to illustrate the text and to embel lish the book, but especially to Mr. Eilers, whose Summer Landscape has been used without permission, the author having been unable to get in touch with this artist.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
