Histoire de la photographie by Raymond Lecuyer, first edition published in 1945, a French-language illustrated history of photography.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original edition of this remarkable history of photography, excellently documented and illustrated.

A well-complete copy of the bifocal lorgnon that allows viewing in relief of the four anaglyphic plates (in a pocket on the inside cover).

Decorated with numerous black illustrations, four anaglyph plates, many plates in color, in sepia and color, and mounted within the text.

This is the most sought-after and rarest publication among the major albums of 'L'Illustration'.

This work covers the entire history of photography and its techniques from the 'antecedents': the adventure of discovery, the age of the daguerreotype and calotype; collodion; etc. It also explores various techniques and major themes: color photography, stereoscopic images, animated images, artistic photography, scientific photography, telephotography; etc.

In summary: The Age of the Daguerréotype and Calotype. The Era of Collodion. The advent of gelatin-bromide and Anastigmat. The Moving Image. Modern Techniques. Creation of photomechanical processes. The search for relief. Photogrammetry and aerial photography. Exploration of the infinitely small and the invisible. Telephotography and the 'belinogram'.

Bound, half mahogany percaline, smooth spine decorated with faux nerves, title in silver letters.
Generally in good condition. Percaline cracked along half of the bit, wear on the caps and corners. Impeccable interior.
