A comprehensive, image heavy guide to photography from the film era, tracing the history of the medium, explaining how cameras actually work, and walking through studio and darkroom setups for portraits, landscapes and still lifes. It is a lovely bit of photographic history in its own right, a snapshot of how the craft was taught before digital cameras took over, and still genuinely useful for anyone curious about the fundamentals that underpin photography regardless of the gear involved.
