Méthodes simplifiées de photographie sur papier.

First edition.
Désiré Van Monckhoven is one of the most famous Belgian photographers. Chemist he participated in the dissemination of knowledge of photographic chemistry then in full explosion.
Photography on paper was invented a few years earlier by Talbo to overcome the drawbacks of daguerreotypes, in the 1850s it was still little used but it was this process (negative-positive) that allowed the photographs to be widely distributed.
In this book Monckhoven gives the precise implementation of this process by giving in particular two samples of paper which allow to touch the papers which were then used in the middle of the XIXth century.

Following Monckoven's text were added 8 handwritten pages on collodion (another photographic process) and two notes on loose paper on these processes.

Manuel théorique et pratique de photographie sur collodion et sur albumine.

More Details >
750 €

Henri-Edmond Robiquet (1822-1860) was a French physicist and a member of the Société de Pharmacie.
He mastered photography and much of the photographic science in his textbook was personally tested in his lab at the school.
Rare first edition, complete with the photograph, using the carbon powder print technics of Garnier and Salmon.
In 1858, Henri Garnier and Alphonse Salmon discovered the photochemical reaction of ferric citrate, altering its hygroscopic and solubility properties. This led to the invention of their "dusting-on" process – procédé au charbon – using a positive rather than a negative to make the exposure. Pine soot, pigment, or metal salt particles were affixed to the tacky areas of unexposed emulsion, using a tampon in conjunction with the hot breath of the photographer. The particles were then easily washed out of the exposed areas of emulsion, leaving behind the grained image. A year later, Garnier and Salmon abandoned iron salts to pursue emulsions of ammonium dichromate and sugar. The plate in Robiquet's book is one of few, or maybe the sole, published example from their workshop of their carbon powder method.
