Compendium der practischen Photographie fur Amateure und Fachphotographen
A German handbook of practical photography for amateurs and professional photographers, written by F. Schmidt and published in Karlsruhe in 1891. Its pictures are line-drawn technical diagrams of cameras and optical setups, showing box cameras with lenses, plate holders, and a lens focusing the image onto a ground-glass screen. A designer can take from them clean, hatched linework and the look of late nineteenth-century scientific instruction.
