Lambert F.Ch. (ed.) The Practical Photographer 10. Special Holiday Number

Hodder and Stoughton, 1904. — 140 p. — (Library Series).A series of 30 thematic collections published in London between 1903 and 1906, edited by Frederick Charles LambertPerhaps it may be as well to explain to the reader that the illustrations in this number are to be taken simply as examples of the types of scenery in the various districts. They should not be regarded as views of this or that place, but as showing the general nature of the material which the tourist photographer may expect to find. In general, the well-known views have been omitted. Places difficult of access have not been illustrated. Our aim also has been to show a fairly typical variety of the subject matter obtainable from the various centres. Objections may be made against the small size of many of the reproductions. But it was thought that several little pictures would convey a better general idea than one or two of larger dimensions. For this smallness of size due allowance must be made.The descriptive notes in each case have been compiled by experienced photographers who have an intimate acquaintance with the districts about which they write. The limitations of our space necessitate these jottings being brief and incomplete in character. But the writers in each case have endeavoured to pick out the salient points, having regard to the kind of information that a camera-man would be likely to desire previous to visiting the neighbourhood.
