This book deals with the history of photography.
Photography is closely allied to nature’s painting, for just as light brings
into existence nature’s living beauties, so does light fix, preserve, and
perpetuate these beauties by the same subtile and mysterious agency of a
quickened chemical affinity. Photography is both an art and a science, and as
such is both beautiful and true. It is an art intimately associated with the
tenderest affections of the human heart in keeping alive its precious
memories. By it the youthful sweetheart of long ago, the loving face of the
departed mother, and the cherished form of the dead child are brought back to
us in familiar presence, while our great men have become the everyday friends
and ideals of the common people. What an enrichment and satisfaction it would
have added to our lives if the art had been coeval with history, and all the
world’s exalted scenes and faces had come to us through the camera with the
knowledge of absolute truth and fidelity.
