Les travaux de l'amateur photographe en hiver
A French photography manual by E. Chable, published in Paris by Gauthier-Villars in 1891, written for amateur photographers working through the winter months. The pictures are plain line engravings and one rotated photograph: a sailing ship under sail, a decorative display heading in blackletter-style capitals reading Lancaster, and a numbered figure of a Thornton-Pickard time shutter with a bulb release. A designer could take from them the clean numbered-figure style of 1890s technical instruction and the ornate Victorian lettering.
