AS Mr. Woodbury stated in his introduction to the original edition of this book, in order to avoid misunderstanding, it would be well to explain at the outset that it is not intended as an instruction book in the art of photography in any sense of the word. It is assumed that the reader has already mastered the technical difficulties of photographic practice and is able to make a good negative or print.
It was the purpose of the author to describe a number of novel and curious effects that can be obtained by the aid of the camera, together with some instructive and interesting photographic experiments.
The contents of the work were compiled from various sources, chiefly from The Photographic Times, The Scientific American, The American Annual of Photography, La Nature, Photographischer Zeitvertreib, by Herman Schnauss, and Les Recreations Photographiques, by A. Bergeret et F. Drewin; and the illustrations were likewise taken from various sources.
