Paris: Lerebours et Secretan 1846. Fifth edition. 8vo. 4 vii 288 pp. folding plate loosely inserted adverts. Scattered foxing to the first and last few leaves. Quarter morocco and paper over boards gilt decorations on spine. The binding is lightly rubbed and worn at the tips. A very good copy. N.P. Lerebours is most noted for his publications EXCURSIONS DAGUERRIENNES 1841-1844 the first large-scaled publication illustrated from photographs as well as for his manufacture of apparatuses of which he was among the first. In his TREATISE he discusses the underlying theory of the photographic process and the numerous practical methodologies of the day. Even though it is largely concerned with the daguerreotype there are sections on the paper processes of Talbot Ponton and Bayard and a description of the galvanographic process to make prints from daguerreotypes with a compilation of writings by the inventors or practitioners themselves the list of which reads as a European directory of the most famous of the period and the gravure process of Fizeau. Although stated as the fifth edition it should be referred to as the fifth enlarged and revised edition; his earlier publications had various other titles and were less than half the length of this work. The appended catalogue p. 269 -288 lists all manner of photographic apparatus and is priced. There are several pages concerned with his publication EXCURSIONS DAGUERRIENNES and the various contents that could be ordered.
