First published in 1875, this book describes the history and
science of photography, with an emphasis on the practical processes
involved and their relation to the physical and chemical properties
of light. Hermann Vogel (1834 1898), who pioneered the technology
for colour photography, was Professor of Photography at the Royal
Industrial Academy of Berlin. Here he explains the science of
photography simply and concisely for a popular readership. The book
has 100 illustrations, including both woodcuts and 'specimens of
the latest discoveries in photography', intended to demonstrate the
value of the technology to society. It traces the history of
photography from its beginnings in experiments conducted by Davy
and Wedgwood and the invention of the Daguerreotype to the most
recent developments of Vogel's day. It was regarded as the most
comprehensive guide to photography then available, and ran to
several editions. This reissue is of the fourth edition of 1883.
