How to make pictures : easy lessons for the amateur photographer
A late nineteenth-century manual of photography published in New York in 1887 by the Scovill Manufacturing Company, written by Henry Clay Price for amateur photographers learning to make pictures at home. Its numbered figures are wood-engraved line drawings of hands at work, cameras, lanterns and plate holders, with plain black lines on cream paper. A designer could take their crisp hatching and clean diagrammatic labelling as a model for technical instruction graphics.
