The Photographic Times was an early photography periodical. Its byline was "An Illustrated Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Interests of Artistic and Scientific Photography." This was the cutting-edge of photography at the time.

The 1890 edition of the periodical had a large number of entries, too many for one post here, so I'll split it up into several.

Alvin H. Bradley: A Fair Philadelphian

C.L. Lochman: Liriodendron (Tulip tree Blossoms)

Catharine Weed Barnes: Five O'Clock Tea

Berkeley Allen: A Sylvan Stream

Catharine Weed Barnes: Interior. Residence of William Barnes, Albany, N.Y.
