No attempt is made in this volume “to offer suggestions to the picture-taker, but again step by step the growth of the art is discussed through the changes, from daguerrotypes to the latest improved methods; and from the toy known as the zoetrope—with which children used to amuse themselves—to the latest moving picture.” (Nation.)

“We have found some of the most interesting pages in Mr. Gibson’s book to be those describing the processes of reproduction for illustrations. A great deal of space and pains have been devoted to colour-photography and its difficulties, and some of this description has not attracted us much. Once or twice, in the earlier pages, Mr. Gibson might have been a little clearer if he had been a little more categorical.”
