Legatura editoriale in tela (manca la ), cm 26 x 19.5, pp XII 218 (2), 80 tavole fotografiche in nero su carta patinata e alcune illustrazioni al tratto nel testo. In inglese. Buon esemplare, seppur privo di , con minimi segni d'uso sulla cuffia superiore e un piccolo segno a matita blu sull'elenco delle tavole, ma complessivamente ben conservato. Testo programmatico divulgativo che illustra, all'apice della diffusione internazionale del movimento, tecniche e modelli del pittorialismo con esempi di artisti europei, americani e giapponesi. L'autore, pittore e illustratore, esprime in perfetta sintesi l'estetica del pittorialismo, affermando senza mezzi termini il valore artistico del mezzo fotografico se piegato ai codici della pittura e della grafica: «I am certain that pictorial photography may be practised as a branch of the fine Arts, in spite of all that is said to the contrary by art-critics, who for the most part as neither painters nor photographers. As a life-long painter, I assert this opinion with perfect conviction. Photography in the hands of pictorial workers is a medium of response to stimuli exactly as painting is. It fosters the same ambitions, and is actuated by the same kind of inspiration. (.) design and tone . composition and chiaroscuro are essential in each case; and the thousand other little qualities and concerns that appear during the making of a print are germane to those of the monocrome worker in the graphic arts». La notevole lista dei fotografi che contribuirono all'opera offre un efficace panorama della fotografia dell'epoca, dominata dalla tendenza pittorialista: oltre alle proprie immagini Tilney raccoglie e commenta fotografie di Alfred Stieglitz, Eduard Steichen e altri, spesso confrontandole con dipinti. Per l'Italia figura il celebre alpinista Guido Rey, uno dei maggiori esponenti della scuola pittorialista nazionale, con la celebre fotografia dell'interno fiammingo (1908). Il nostro esemplare è arricchito dalla presenza di una lettera dell'editore che invia il volume a Guido Rey e lo ringrazia per l'utilizzo della fotografia (segnata poi in matita blu sull'indice). Buon esemplare, seppur privo di sovraccoperta, con minimi segni d'uso sulla cuffia superiore e un piccolo segno a matita blu sull'elenco delle tavole, ma complessivamente ben conservato.…
