Paris: Leiber Ãditeur, 1862. First edition. 8vo., 212 pp., illustrated. New facsimile paper wrappers. Staining and toning to several leaves,with some tips mildly chipped with no loss of text. A good copy. Housed in a newly made clamshell box with a facsimile of the title page affixed to the upper cover; the worn original front wrapper is is laid in. Although the title is similar to his earlier, and freguently revised and expanded, TRAITÃ DE PHOTOGRAPHIE SUR COLLODION, this manual significantly differs and therefore is considered a separate and new work.
