Cantor lectures on recent advances in photography
A late nineteenth-century lecture series on photography by William de Wiveleslie Abney, delivered under the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce and printed in London in 1882 for an audience of practising photographers and students. The pictures are plain line diagrams: grids of shaded and clear bars showing exposure and spectral results, and a lens-and-mirror ray path, drawn in tight engraved style that suits technical charts, scientific figures, and schematic layouts in a modern infographic.
