La photographie appliquée a l'archéologie : reproduction des monuments, oeuvres d'art, mobilier, inscriptions, manuscrits

Trutat, Eugène, 1840-, Quinsac, A · 1879 · Paris : Gauthier-Villars · 9 pictures

A French photography manual of 1879 by Eugène Trutat and A. Quinsac, published in Paris by Gauthier-Villars, explaining how archaeological monuments, artworks, furniture, inscriptions and manuscripts could be photographed and reproduced. Its plates are wood-engraved diagrams of large-format field cameras on tripods, a geared copy stand, and a plate holder, alongside a rotated photographic print of a carved Gothic arcade, giving designers clear, technical examples of nineteenth-century camera apparatus and architectural detail.
