About This Item
Original wrappers. Minor dampstain at end, foxed. Fine.
FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. This is a major paper on the founding publications on photography by Daguerre and Talbot (as well as those of Netto and Moser) and the history of the new art photography.
Sir David Brewster was a pioneer of photography. He invented the lenticular stereoscope, the kaleidoscope, the binocular camera, and other instruments. The work, published anonymously, is "an ambitious, wide-ranging account of the development of photography" to 1843 (Smith, Disciples of Light).
A rare survival in original wrappers.
