Le Musée rétrospectif de la photographie à l'Exposition universelle de 1900
This is a retrospective museum catalogue of historic photographic apparatus, compiled by Alphonse Davanne and Maurice Bucquet and published in Paris by Gauthier-Villars in 1903 to document the photography display at the 1900 Exposition universelle. Its pictures show early cameras, lenses and projection equipment photographed plainly against neutral backgrounds, so a designer could draw on their mechanical form, brass fittings and boxy wooden construction.
