Greenish, Thomas, author · 1860 · London : T. Greenish, 20, New Streeet, Dorset Square, N.W. · 15 pictures

A trade catalogue of photographic apparatus and materials, issued in London in 1860 by Thomas Greenish for amateur and professional photographers. Its pictures are plain engraved line drawings of cameras and lenses, labelled Fig. 1 to Fig. 4, showing hatched shading on rounded brass-like barrels and boxy wooden camera bodies. A designer might take their clean hatching and mechanical precision as a model for vintage technical illustration.
