The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

An early photographic plate from the 1870s: a small wooded island centred in perfectly still water, reflecting into it almost symmetrically. Warm sepia throughout, corners falling away into heavy vignette, detail soft and slightly out of focus at the edges, sky rendered as blank paper white with no cloud. Plate edge irregularities and chemical marks around the border. Quiet and empty, no people.
