Practical guide to photographic & photo-mechanical printing
A practical manual by W. K. Burton, published in London by Marion and Co. in 1892, aimed at photographers and printers learning photographic and photo-mechanical reproduction. Its pictures are black-and-white line engravings of apparatus: a camera with bellows and a baseboard, a hand-cranked printing machine, a screw-operated copying press, and a cutaway darkroom or lightproof box. A designer might take their precise hatched linework and mechanical, diagrammatic clarity for vintage technical illustration.
