Excerpt from The Photographic Negative: Written as a Practical Guide to the Preparation of Sensitive Surfaces by the Calotype, Albumen, Collodion, and Gelatin Processes, on Glass and Paper, With Supplementary Chapters on Development, Etc;, Etc
This book, like its companion, Photographic Printing Methods, is the outcome of my wish to testify to the exceed ing great interest which I take in' photography, an interest which has been deepened by my study of the literature of the science and a growing knowledge of the many processes to which it has given birth.
Some few of those processes I endeavored to explain in my former volume. Others of equal interest I have selected for description in the following pages.
I have aimed to select only those methods known to have a permanent value.
If it be objected that some of them no longer have a prae tical value, let it be remembered that an acquaintance with them is necessary to a thorough knowledge and appreciation of the enormous advance which photography has made in these later years.
