Notes was one of the most significant American photographic periodicals of its time. Published quarterly by the Camera Club of New York and edited by Alfred Stieglitz, it represented a critical phase in the campaign to legitimize the photo image as an artistic pursuit. Throughout most of its six-year life (1897-1903) the publication included articles on photographs as fine art, as well as hundreds of halftone images and high-quality photogravure images. While much has been written on the rest of Stieglitz's endeavours, no attention has been given to this vital publication. This volume focuses on Notes and its influence. It reproduces all of the more than 250 halftones that appeared in its pages, as well as all of the beautiful photogravures in their original tones.
