The negative and print, or, The photographer's guide in the gallery and in the field : being a text-book for the operator and amateur ...
A photography manual by John Towler, published in New York by J.H. Ladd in 1870, written as a text-book for camera operators and amateurs. The only picture is a bookplate from the Franklin Institute, showing an ornate framed label with a lamp emblem and the words Purchased with the Bloomfield H. Moore Memorial Fund. A designer might take its decorative border, Victorian lettering and centred emblem layout as a model for an engraved ex libris label.
