The modern practice of retouching negatives, as practiced by M. Piquepé and other experts, French, English and American
A photographic manual on retouching negatives, compiled from French, English and American practitioners and published in New York by the Scovill Manufacturing Company in 1882 for working photographers. The four pictures are decorative headpieces and ornamental title lettering: 'Photographic' set in shaded Victorian typefaces, 'Art Emporium' in blackletter with florid flourishes, and a 'Finis' tailpiece framed by classical medallion portraits. A designer could take from them the Victorian display type styles and ornamental borders of the 1880s trade press.
