ROBIQUET, Henri-Edmond. 

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

Paris, Labé - Masson Sénez, 1859.
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.

First edition on large paper.

This is Volta's latest memoir and his most important contribution to the famous controversy that occurred between the Galvanic and Voltaic theories of electricity. This memoir was submitted under the name of one of the students of Volta in 1805 during a competition organized by the "Società Italiana delle Scienze"; it was then "to explain with clarity and dignity, by offending anyone, the question of Galvanism, discussed by Giovanni Aldini (nephew of Galvani) and Alessandro Volta". No memory was rewarded at the end of this event. Nine years later, Pietro Configliachi, professor of physics and publisher of the "Giornale di fisica, chemica e storia naturale" pupil and then successor of Volta at the University of Pavia, was finally able to publish this work. The last 7 pages of this book present a detailed bibliography of Volta's works until 1813.
Beautiful rare and remarkable copy on large paper.

The following 20 illustrations of Robida's Brillat-Savarin aphorisms were first published in Richardin's "The Art of Eating Well" and then republished separately by Blaizot in 1905. There were prints on vellum (5HC), China (7), Japan (43). Our lot probably comes from this publication. On the other hand, one wonders about the presence of the Mariani watermark on vellum papers, is it a stock bought by Blaizot or a special edition for Mariani who was close to Robida?.
