Stieglitz printed these as photogravures not only because the mechanical etching technique conveyed a breadth of tone and clarity of detail, but also because the complexity of the process called attention to his artistry. By claiming \"Winter\" and the \"Reflections\" of gas lamps as his photographs’ titles, Stieglitz made a bold claim that photography could serve artistic as well as documentary purposes. Although <I>Winter on Fifth Avenue</I> was originally horizontal, Stieglitz cropped it vertically to dramatize the carriage’s dynamic movement toward the viewer. Like the adjacent Hassam painting, Stieglitz’s explorations of the effects of light and weather elevated New York City street scenes into evocative formal studies. </P></SPAN>","remarks":"MEB Rotation July 2015"}],"media":[{"id":89570,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/INV15605","isprimary":0,"rank":3,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Inventory Project"},{"id":33642,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/x1982-22F","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"PUAM photo"}],"hasimage":"true","bibliography":[{"boilertext":"\"Acquisitions of the Art Museum 1982\", <em>Record of the Art Museum, Princeton University</em> 42, no. 1 (1983): p. 50-70.","citation":"\"Acquisitions of the Art Museum 1982\", <em>Record of the Art Museum, Princeton University</em> 42, no. 1 (1983): p. 50-70., p. 66","date":1983,"id":3149,"uri":"https://www.jstor.org/stable/3774638"},{"boilertext":"Alfred Stieglitz and W.E.
