Rocks, Stream & Trees

Rocks, Stream & Trees

This landscape view shows a tranquil scene depicting a stream at the center of frame running down through and around a large rock formation at left, with trees in background. This is a fine, sepia-toned bromoil printed on deckle-edged tissue paper and tipped onto two backing mounts- the secondary mount setting it up further within an impressed window. With the imprint of the photographer’s own Fruitvale, CA atelier: HOUSEONHILL HANDCRAFT imprinted in margin of secondary support, it may have been intended as a holiday greeting card or promotional item.
