London: Robert Hardwicke, [1858].
Hardcover. Good. 4.25" x 6.25", pp xvi, 76, [4]. Original rust cloth stamped in blind and gilt. Remnant of label on upper spine, bookplate and several stamps from the Library of the Photographic Society of Philadelphia. Otherwise clean and sound. A highly detailed manual, intended "to supply a want at present much felt in photography; for although there are many cleverly written and most useful manuals on the subject, young photographers and tourists complain that, having purchased an apparatus, there is no book by the assistance of which alone they can start of their journeyings, and without further instructions rely on taking pictures in the field."
