Illustrated catalogue of the Royal Photographic Society's international exhibition at the Crystal Palace, 1898
An 1898 illustrated catalogue issued by the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain for its international exhibition at the Crystal Palace in London, aimed at photographers and trade buyers. The pictures are black-and-white and red-tinted line engravings of cameras and optical apparatus, with plain catalogue-style layouts. A designer could take from them the crisp hatched linework used to render metal, leather bellows and glass lenses, and the tidy trade-catalogue presentation of technical objects.
