Photography with Emulsions: A Treatise on the Theory and Practical Working of the Collodion and Gelatine Emulsion Processes (1885)

Photography With Emulsions is a comprehensive guide to the use of collodion and gelatine emulsion processes in photography. Written by William De Wiveleslie Abney and originally published in 1885, this book covers the theory and practical techniques involved in creating photographic images using these emulsion processes. Abney discusses the chemical composition of emulsions, the preparation of plates and papers, and the various methods of exposure and development. He also provides detailed instructions on how to manipulate the emulsions to achieve different effects, such as increasing or decreasing contrast, and how to troubleshoot common problems that arise during the process. The book includes numerous illustrations and photographs, as well as a glossary of technical terms. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and technical aspects of photography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
