The History and Practice of the Art of Photography

"The History and Practice of the Art of Photography" by Henry Hunt Snelling is a 19th-century guide that explains the start of photography, instructing new artists on its methods, and going over the chemistry and art needed to master the first photographic practices, mainly the Daguerreotype process, so that people venturing into this new skill can successfully learn and practice it. Snelling highlights the need for a guide, especially for beginners, who wish to dive into applying this groundbreaking art form.
