Subject
Tipped-in plate: “Photographie au charbon de M. Ernest Edwards, de Londres.”
Description
This well-known treatise, originally published a year earlier, is an historical survey of the first thirty years of photography, presenting examples of numerous different photographic processes. It appears that the author considered Edwards important enough to include his work alongside that of a largely continental group of photographers---Maxime Du Camp, Adolphe Braun, Édouard Baldus, and others. The 1869 edition also contains a portrait by Edwards, with its subject being a young lady.
