The Photographic Studios of Europe, first published in 1882, is the
only detailed account available of working practices and conditions
in the studios of the leading photographers of the Victorian
period. Revealing, surprising, perceptive and authoritative, this
first-hand report is based on seeing scores of photographers and
their workshops in action. The result is fascinating and valuable
both as a social historical record and as a classic of photographic
literature. This newly-designed and typeset edition provides - for
the first time - a highly readable and accessible selection from
the original Victorian edition. Author H Baden Pritchard
(1841-1884) was Secretary of the Photographic Society of Great
Britain and remains "a distinguished name in photography" (Mark
Haworth-Booth). Adopting a "colloquial style" he leads us on a
"house-to-house visitation among the principal studios of Europe...
determined to write down great things and small alike... and so
produce a record of practice." Recording the physical environment
of each workplace, the work undertaken, employees, clientele,
pricing and techniques, the book provides unparalleled insights
into the burgeoning business of photography in the Victorian
period.
