| Summary | "The History and Practice of the Art of Photography" by Henry Hunt Snelling is a historical and instructional publication written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the methods, techniques, and history underpinning early photographic practices, particularly focusing on the Daguerreotype process and related technologies. It is intended to provide aspiring photographers and Daguerreotypists with comprehensive instructions on successfully practicing this groundbreaking art form. At the start of the book, Snelling expresses the need for a practical guide that addresses the deficiencies of existing English works on photography, particularly for beginners. He introduces the origins and evolution of the art of photography, discussing various key figures and inventions that led to its development. The opening chapters set the foundation for understanding the complex interplay of chemistry and artistry in photography, providing insights into both the historical context of its invention and practical advice for aspiring practitioners looking to delve into the art form.
