Ninth edition, "enlarged, improved, and illustrated with numerous woodcuts," with contributions from several other prominent writers on photography. xvi, 599 pp + index and ads, with original silver print photograph of a young girl (possibly slightly trimmed at outer edge) as frontispiece. Bound in original maroon cloth with gilt lettering and decoration on the spine.
