The photographer's note-book and constant companion : containing 250 practical hints, formulae, expedients, etc., etc.
A late-Victorian compiled handbook of 250 practical photographic hints and formulae, put together by F. C. Lambert and printed in London in 1897 for amateur and working photographers. Its pictures are small line drawings of improvised darkroom and field devices: a looped cord, a stepped row of hooked shapes with dotted sight lines, a pail hung by a cord, and a wrapped cylinder. A designer might take from them the plain, diagrammatic economy of early instructional line art.
