About This Item
In this, his best known and most influential book, Disdéri provides an introduction to the materials of photography, including photomechanical processes, a thorough discussion of the collodion process, and in the final part he discusses his approach to the practice and the art of photography, defending it as more than a mechanical operation, with comparisons to painting.
