Bromide enlarging and contact printing : how to do it

Dresser, A. R · 1892 · London : Fry Manufacturing Co. · 25 pictures

A late nineteenth-century photography manual on bromide enlarging and contact printing, written by A. R. Dresser and published in London in 1892 by the Fry Manufacturing Co. for amateur and practical photographers. Its pictures are plain black-and-white line engravings of darkroom fittings, enlargers, printing frames and a storage box, showing mechanism and layout clearly enough for a designer to borrow their simple technical drawing style and precise labelled diagrams.
