Summary "A Practical Manual of the Collodion Process" by S. D. Humphrey is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. This manual serves as a comprehensive guide for photographers, particularly those interested in the collodion process, a revolutionary method for producing photographic images on glass and paper. It presents detailed instructions on various techniques, including the creation of ambrotypes, as well as discussions on photographic chemistry. The opening of the manual provides context on the journal from which it has emerged, emphasizing its value in the field of photographic arts and its role as a reliable resource for practitioners and enthusiasts alike. Humphrey introduces the collodion process, highlighting its significance in creating positive and negative images while addressing the importance of understanding light and its properties. This section includes essential foundational knowledge such as the behavior of light through prisms and the mechanics of camera operation, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the photographic techniques that follow. Overall, the beginning establishes a clear intention to assist photographers in mastering the collodion method through practical guidance and informed chemistry.
