Sure and easy development of plates and films
A 1904 London photography manual by A. Horsley Hinton, written as a practical guide to developing plates and films for amateur and working photographers. Its illustrations are test exposures of the same country house under different development conditions, showing overexposed, correctly exposed and underexposed negatives and their tonal results. A designer could take from them the stark negative-to-positive inversion of tones and the dramatic contrast of night-sky blacks against bright architectural detail.
