Excerpt from The Art of Photography: Instructions in the Art of Producing Photographic Pictures in Any Color and on Any Material
Photography presents os, in this respect, with a number of the most I interesting phenomena, which even now have acquired considerable practical value, but promise still greater and more important results for the future. The discoveries made in this new field of science, have naturally called the attention of chemists to the problem of the true nature and essence of light, and have engaged them to make researches with a view to a possible solution of that problem. As the domains of optics and of chemistry may be said to touch and combine in photography, every successful attempt in that direction may reasonably be expected to lead also to some new progress or discovery in optics, which, on its part again, may serve to bring the philosopher nearer the elucidation of the phenomena of light.
