Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Photographic Primer: A Manual of Practice

The grooved or notched track-frame at the bottom, on which the front of the box travels, is usually hinged back of the center of its length, so that, when the ends are brought close together by the telescoping of the bel lows, the longest part of this frame or bed may be folded up against the front of the box, making the whole camera compact for carrying; the folding up has nothing to do with the operation of the camera. Roughly speaking, this is the whole of a camera box, except two other features of its construction, which will be noted further on.

Excerpt from The Photographic Primer: A Manual of Practice

This little manual, which now seeks audience, is not the mouthpiece of a manufacturer, neither have the authors a private axe to grind. It is written to give a clear, simple definition of photographic practice in its primary form, as the uninitiated must approach it. The Primer can lay no claim on the professional operator, and goes no further in the path of photographic work than the production of a perfect picture by the simplest processes. For those who wish to experiment with the endless procession of new plates, new papers, and new methods, there is abundant help ready to hand in the photographic literature of the past ten years; but to one who knows nothing of the art, who has never looked into the mysterious simplicity of a camera box, and to whom a lens is but a bit of glass, the Primer may appeal with confidence.

The authors have sought to give the cardinal points in photographic work in epitomic form, and in this respect the manual may be found not only a guide to the beginner, but a reference book of constant use to the more advanced student.
