La photographie des peintres, des voyageurs et des touristes : nouveau procédé sur papier huilé, simplifiant le bagage et facilitant toutes les opérations, avec indication de la manière de construire soi-même la plupart des instruments nécessaires
A French photography manual by Arsène Pélegry, published in Paris by Gauthier-Villars in 1879, written for painters, travellers and tourists who wanted a lighter kit using oiled paper. Its plates are dim photographic views of rocky banks, a forest stream and a stream-bed with fallen logs, plus one line diagram of triangular survey-like lines, so a designer might take the tonal range of these murky, low-contrast landscape photographs and the simple geometric schematic.
