Hasluck P.N. The Book of Photography: Practical, Theoretical and Applied

Cassell and Co., 1905. — 856 p.The Book of Photography has been prepared at the request of many readers of my smaller books on the subject who have expressed a wish for a comprehensive treatise. My own practice in Photography dates back to the time when the operator prepared each plate for his own use ; first by a tedious process of cleaning the glass, next by dexterously flooding it with collodion, and finally by sensitising it in a bath of silver nitrate. My first photographs, some of which I still possess, were taken with apparatus wholly my own construction, which served its purpose quite satisfactordy for many years.
