A MANUAL OF PHOTOGRAPHIC CHEMISTRY, INCLUDING THE PRACTICE OF THE COLLODION PROCESS

Hardwich, T. Frederick

Edité par John Churchill, London, 1855

12mo., xvi, 344 pp., errata, figures in text. Recased and rebacked in the publisher's gilt and blind-embossed cloth, original spine cloth laid-down. Faint dampstains on the front and rear free endpapers; slight bump to one lower board tip. Very good. First published in 1855, this manual quickly became the standard for its time. According to Eder, "It is particularly valuable because he treated photo-chemistry exhaustively and gave an original and very useful method for the production of photographic collodion cotton." Sipley, in PHOTOGRAPHY'S GREAT INVENTORS calls this ".the first manual of photo-chemistry." It is actually the first manual of photographic chemistry in the English language. Gernsheim - INCUNABULA OF BRITISH PHOTOGRAPHIC LITERATURE 1839 - 1875, No. 739. Roosens and Salu No. 1836 follows the same pagination mistake as Gernsheim. N° de réf. du vendeur 53211
