From the cover: THE AUTHOR of this book is a practical worker in the bromoil process, an artist of many years experience and success as an exhibitor, one who regards his camera as only a mechanical implement which may, but more often does not, give him the pictorial impression he wants.
In this book he describes how he produces his pictures with the aid of the camera and, more particularly, his brushes and pigment.
He approaches the subject from an essentially practical point of view. Every stage in the operations he describes is illustrated, a logical sequence is maintained, and no detail is omitted. Variations of method are given for obtaining pigment prints of good quality from negatives which, previous to this work, would have been considered quite unsuitable as originals for bromoil printing.
Several methods are described, and illustrated, of combining two or more negatives in one print.
The illustrations show great diversity of subject-matter portrait, landscape, seascape, street, and harbour scenes and in themselves form an interesting collection.
