The Photographic Studios of Europe, first published in 1882, is the only detailed account available of working practices and conditions in the studios of the leading photographers of the Victorian period.
Revealing, surprising, perceptive and authoritative, this first-hand report is based on seeing scores of photographers and their workshops in action. The result is fascinating and valuable - both as a social historical record and as a classic of photographic literature.
Our newly-designed and typeset, 300-page, illustrated edition provides - for the first time - a highly readable and accessible selection from the original Victorian edition.
