An introduction to the science & practice of photography

Jones, H. Chapman (Henry Chapman), 1854- · 1891 · London : Iliffe & Son · 20 pictures

An 1891 London photography primer by the chemist H. Chapman Jones, written as an introduction to the science and practice of the craft for students and amateurs. Its pictures are plain line diagrams of lenses and light rays, drawn as schematic cross-sections with arrows and hatched glass, which a designer could borrow for clean technical infographics or minimal scientific motifs.
