Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practical Printer: A Complete Manual of Photographic Printing In the preparation of this work it has been the aim of the author to make it of practical value to those who are about to commence the study of photographic printing, or those who desire to perfect themselves in it, and for this purpose he has endeavored to place in it only such information and advice as can be relied upon, and which will aid the learner in acquiring speedily the modus operandi of general Albumen, Plain Paper, and Porcelain Printing. The writer has purposely, in many chapters of this work, treated of cases which are not very often found in the majority of galleries, yet, as they are in a few, they have for that reason been taken up and disposed of. All of the different classes of negatives mentioned have been real ones with the author, and not imaginary, for they have all at some past time been given to him to print from, and have been "doctored," printed, etc., by some of the methods mentioned. It is not the printing from excellent negatives that teaches the learner, for fine prints from such are very easily obtained; but it is the printing from poor negatives that instructs him, and it is on this account that many printers in poor galleries often understand best the printing of difficult negatives, because they are more accustomed tot print from such. The elegant specimen of photography embellishing this work is from the well-known photograph gallery of Mr. F. Gutekunst, of Philadelphia, Pa., whose establishment is probably one of the most complete in the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
