Title: Forest Brook

Original copy for this entry posted to Facebook on August  31, 2011:

“Forest Brook” by Germany’s Otto Scharf, would be considered from the “Naturalistic” school of Photography in spirit, first championed by England’s Peter Henry Emerson in the late 1880’s. Scharf’s speciality was landscape work and this example, printed as a rich, almost chocolate-brown hand-pulled gravure, is almost three-dimensional when viewing the original.
