Le Musée rétrospectif de la photographie à l'Exposition universelle de 1900

Davanne, A. (Alphonse), 1824-1912, Bucquet, Maurice, Exposition universelle internationale de 1900 (Paris, France). Musée rétrospectif de la photographie · 1903 · Paris, Gauthier-Villars · 33 pictures

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.
