First published by Focal Press and running to numerous editions over several decades, The Manual of Photography is one of the most comprehensive and respected technical references in the history of photography literature. Covering the science and practice of photography from first principles — optics, exposure, film emulsions, darkroom chemistry, printing, colour theory, and much more — this is the book that generations of photographers, students, and professionals have turned to as their definitive technical bible. With its distinctive bold orange cover design placing this as a vintage edition from the 1970s, this copy has a wonderful period charm alongside its enduring practical value. For collectors of photography literature, analogue enthusiasts, and anyone serious about understanding the full technical craft of the medium, this remains an authoritative and fascinating reference work.
