Abstract
THE average amateur is generally content to confine himself to the practice of one or two photographic printing processes. He is not aware of the many other processes, varied in nature and giving beautiful results, which will repay his attention; to some extent the same is true of the professional photographer. To both these classes this book should make an appeal. Capt. Wheeler embodies largely his own extended experience in the description of processes ranging from print-out, through bromide, carbon and carbro, gum-bichromate and its variants, dye-printing, etc., to colour printing. The details given are such that it should be easy for novices in a particular process to go straight ahead and acquire proficiency. The scientific principles involved are not discussed, and only the simplest chemical terminology is used.
