  First edition 1892. A dictionary of photography with good clear explanations of the various photomechanical processes. The twenty-four specimen plates include collotype, chromo-collotype, Meisenbach process, chromo-lithographs, photochromo-lithograph copy, photogravures, Pretsch process plates, photochromotypography, photolithographs, zinc etching, typogravure, Woodburytype, photo-relief printing block, Woodbury-gravure, etc. The catalogue of the David A. Hanson Collection of the History of Photo-Mechanical Printing gives this book a good note and states that “he [Brothers] seems to have gone out of his way to illustrate this volume with a wide range of examples, some of which are not very easily found, such as the Woodbury gravures and Pretsch’s intaglio gravure process.” (p. 114). On Brothers see Stephen Joseph, “Alfred Brothers (1826-1912) and his role in photographic publishing,” History of Photography Jan-Mar 1987, p. 74 ff. Bridson-Wakeman E60. Roosens/Salu 4921.
