To set forth, therefore, before the public what are the real powers for accuracy still existing in that grandest of all Primeval Monuments, the absolutely unique Great Pyramid - and in so far to rescue its present-day descriptions and modern character from the scientific disgrace just now sought to be inflicted upon it; as well as to demonstrate the service that good and faithful photography in the future may be of there - this is the chief object of the following pages.

After having acceded to request, and printed, as follows, my recent discourse before the Edinburgh Photographic Society in a somewhat revised and extended form, I could not but recognise with more or less of dismay, that although my own ideas of my photographs at the Great Pyramid in 1865 have been from the first, that they were lamentably faulty, imperfect, and unequal - causing me to yearn, though in vain, through each succeeding year, for any opening whereby I might try to replace them with some better attempts - yet in this discourse I have been insensibly led on by the argument to be speaking almost all the time as it were in defense of these very photographs, or as though I thought much more highly of them than I really do.

A Poor Man's Photography at the Great Pyramid (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the author's experiences and photographic work at the Great Pyramid of Giza in 1865, using his small yet effective wet-plate apparatus. Despite completing the work as a largely solitary, underfunded endeavor, the author achieved remarkable success. His photographs of the Pyramid successfully captured minute details of construction, proving its remarkable precision and scale. The author's work stands in stark contrast to the efforts of a coalition of wealthy individuals, whose heavily funded and later attempt to photograph the site fell far short of the author's results. Their work instead reflected an inaccurate and diminished view of the Pyramid's grandeur, distorting both its physical appearance and the advanced knowledge of its ancient architects. This book serves as a testament to the remarkable feats achievable through scientific ingenuity, perseverance, and the willingness to challenge established norms. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330226230_0
