A Guide to Collodio-Etching is a book written by Benjamin Hartley in 1881. The book is a comprehensive guide to the process of collodio-etching, a photographic technique that was popular in the late 19th century. The book covers the history of the process, the materials required, and the step-by-step process of creating collodio-etched prints.Hartley begins by explaining the chemistry behind the process, including the use of collodion, a solution of nitrocellulose in ether and alcohol, and the etching solution, which is typically made from ferric chloride. He then goes on to describe the equipment needed, including glass plates, sensitizing solutions, and developing trays.The book also includes detailed instructions on how to prepare the collodion solution and how to sensitize the glass plates. Hartley explains the importance of proper exposure times and provides tips on how to achieve the desired results. He also covers the development process, including techniques for stopping the development and fixing the image.In addition to the technical aspects of the process, Hartley also provides examples of collodio-etched prints and discusses the artistic potential of the technique. He encourages readers to experiment with the process and to use their creativity to produce unique and beautiful images.Overall, A Guide to Collodio-Etching is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of photography or in alternative photographic processes. The book provides a detailed and comprehensive guide to a fascinating technique that was once widely used but is now largely forgotten.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

For many years a want has been felt, especially among amateurs, for some simple and inexpensive method of duplicating their sketches and studies for the benefit of their friends. Bringing home pictures from a summers vacation trip, or from a foreign land, many have desired to share their pleasure with others, and yet could not give away their original drawings. Thus they have had recourse to various means for the copying of their productions. Some have tried lithography, making the drawings, and getting a lithographic printer to do the presswork; others have tried copi)er-plate etching, and of course, have had to call in the printers aid, until, a short time ago, Mr. Hammerton invented a small press for home use. Some have had their pictures photographed, while others, of late years, have made pen and ink drawings, and had them photo-engraved and printed on a common letter press. Many more have adopted the portable camera outfit and given up sketching altogether. Nearly all these methods have been tried by the writer and found inconvenient, expensive, and troublesome.
