Title: Eighty years, eighty volumes, 1854-1934
Description: "Our second catalog... reflects our shared passion for the photographic image and the printed word. We include published books illustrated with original photographs and photographic albums created around a specific theme or location. The books and albums are listed in chronological order to illustrate the development of the major nineteenth century photographic processes: salt print, albumen, cyanotype, platinum, and silver. We added woodbury and carbon printing, as they were a bridge to the later photo-mechanical era. The books and albums were produced or published in thirty-five countries (five from North America, six from South America, thirteen from Europe, eight from Asia and three from Africa). The words rare, uncommon, or scarce have been avoided since they apply to all the books in this catalog. To assist in accessing the books and understanding the descriptions, indexes by subject and photographer's names and a glossary are provided." -- from Introduction.
