The practice of photography : a manual for students and amateurs
A photography manual by Philip Henry Delamotte, published in London by J. Cundall in 1853 for students and amateur photographers learning the craft. Its single picture is a sepia studio portrait of a woman in a bonnet and patterned shawl holding a doll in a bonnet and white dress. The image shows early photographic tone and posed domestic composition, useful to a designer seeking vintage Victorian portrait styling and warm brown monochrome.
