Abstract
THIS annual volume contains, as usual, a vast amount of useful information gathered from workers in all the various applications of photography. After a brief summary, in which the editor refers to some of the chief advances made in the science of photography during the past year, mentioning, for instance, Mr. Dallmeyer's telephotographic lens, Mr. Willis's improvement in the platinotype process, &c., he devotes a few pages to“some photographic methods of book illustration.” Then come short contributions in which everyone has something special to say,whether it relates to a new mounting medium,a permanent toning bath, or pinhole pictures, &c. They are far too numerous to mention individually, but will be found most interesting reading. “Epitome of Progress” is the title of a series of notes by Mr. Traill Taylor, in which he refers briefly, and in some cases at length, to new methods, remedies, &c., and instruments used in the practice of the art. The formulæ and tables are as numerous as ever, while all the other information, such as lists of photographic societies, &c., have been brought up to date. The volume is copiously illustrated.
