This book pre-dates Sutton's work
on producing permanent photographs noted in Gernsheim, and his partnership with
Blanquart-Evrard. After a short introduction, he expands in detail on preparing
the paper negative, exposing and developing it, and then producing the salted
print. He assumes "no previous photographic knowledge whatsoever" on the part of
the reader, and provides extensive formulary and step by step procedures. A
valuable early treatise.
