July 11th is All American Pet Photo Day, a day dedicated to appreciating our lovable pets and posting photos of them on social media. In honor of today, Jared printed an image of a dog from a halftone in the Lewis Winter Collection.

The Lewis Winter Collection contains a wide variety of cuts of animals but this is just one of a few halftones in that collection. A halftone is a reproduction of a photograph or other image where various gray tones or other colors are produced by variously sized dots. This process is how photography was introduced into publishing starting in the 1880s.
