Abstract

Amateur Photography
October 23, 1884 issue

add to cart   close window

It is surprising to find so few of men of means and leisure interested in this fascinating recreation, or to find so little culture connected with it in any shape. D.J. Tapley's book "Amateur Photography," is not calculated to impress any student with the affinities between photography and education. T.C. Hepworth's book "Photography for Amateurs," is in every way more satisfactory, smaller, in better taste as literature, more clear in its directions, and avoiding all the semi-scientific explanations of photographic phenomena which are a part of Mr Tapley's book and no addition who wants to know optics will find a special treatise on it.
