Item Details

Description

[Photography/Daguerreotype] Jones, Thomas, editor. Journal of the Franklin Institute. XXIV. July-December 1839. The Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, 1839. 8vo. Modern green cloth with black leather spine labels. Contain 7 reports on the daguerreotype, heliogravure, and photogenic drawing.
[Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre] "Practical description of the process called the daguerreotype..." In: Journal of the Franklin Institute, new series Vol. 24 (July- December 1839), pp. 303-311 (November issue). 2 small text woodcuts. First edition published in America of an English translation of pp. 59-70 of Daguerre's Historique et description des procedes du daguerreotype (Paris, 1839), containing Daguerre's detailed instructions for production of daguerreotypes. This translation by John Fries Frazer appeared two months after the first English translation of Daguene's manual, by J. S. Memes, which was published in London between 13 and 21 September (and quickly followed by two rival translations). Following on the tails of the great outburst of "dagueneomania" in France and England, the September and October 1839 issues of the Journal also include several short articles on daguerreotypes, heliography and Talbot's photogenic drawing, as follows: Golding Bird. "Observations on the application of heliographic or photogenic drawing to botanical purposes; with an account of an economic mode of preparing the paper; in a letter to the Editor of the 'Magazine of Natural History" (pp. 202-204); "Invention of photogenic drawings" and "Light Drawn Pictures [reprinted from the London mechanical magazine], p. 208; A.D.B. "The Daguerrotype [sic] explained" (pp. 209- 210), apparently the first technical account of the daguerreotype process published in an American scientific journal (the article originally appeared in Horace Greeley's The New Yorker on 28 September 1839); "Daguerre's photography" [a news excerpt from Galignani], pp. 286-287. (October issue). Gernsheim, History of photography, p. 121; Norman 570 and 572.
Condition: Scientific Library of the Patent Office Bookplate. Library of Congress stamp on final blank. Scattered foxing.
