PHOTOGRAPHIC BIBLIOGRAPHY 1835 – 1869.

In 1990 I published a book titled Nineteenth Century Photography. An Annotated Bibliography 1839 – 1879, by William S. Johnson. Boston: G. K. Hall & Co. The book consisted of 962 pages containing approximately 21,000 bibliographic references drawn from 69 American and British periodicals published during that time, plus a sprinkling of references to more contemporary articles about the photographers already listed in the book. The book was published in a very limited edition and went out of print within a year. Subsequently it has been considered by some photographic historians and listed by several sources as an essential reference source to that period.

Photography was from the first considered as one of the four or five major inventions that brought about the truly modern age. I have always wanted to attempt to trace the large and small impacts which the invention of photography had upon the Anglo-American society and its various cultures during the first few decades of the medium’s existence. The 1990 book did that to some extent, but I was never really completely satisfied with it. So, during the past few years I began utilizing the expanded resources which the computer and the internet made available to scan more than 800 magazines and newspapers of every type, from photographic journals to farmer’s journals to women’s magazines to literary magazines to illustrated weekly newspapers and so on, which were published in the United States and in Great Britain from the late 1830s through 1869 for references to photographic practice. I made a good-faith effort to provide a reasonably complete survey of the uses, impacts and influences of photography upon the published periodical literature of America, England, and to some extent elsewhere, from about 1835 to 1869; and thus, hopefully, to provide an outline of the impacts of the medium upon the culture and society of that period of history which played such a critically important role in the development of our own society and culture.

The approximately 450 magazines and newspapers listed below contained articles in which photography was featured, discussed or mentioned in some illuminating manner, or which acknowledged the use of the medium in the creation of at least some of their illustrations. But because it was the custom and practice of many magazines during this time to reprint translations, excerpts, and even entire articles from other magazines, this list of titles fails to actually delineate the exact range of coverage of this project; and articles about individuals and events from French, German and other periodicals do appear in this bibliography as well.

The project is almost done. I am still cleaning up odds and ends, locating missing issues, attempting to correct errors, etc., but essentially this bibliographic project is complete – or at least finished. I feel that this bibliography is far more than a simple listing of published articles and I hope that it does achieve something of what I had wanted to accomplish; by providing any reader with a specific but focused view into the heart of the mid-nineteenth century culture’s ideas and ideals. It certainly provides a richer context and a more complete outline of the dimensions and scope of the uses of the photography of that time than is commonly available at the present.

In the first bibliography, I occasionally included brief excerpts or annotations for those references in which the citation was unclear by itself. But in this project, with so many highly diverse sources, context is a large part of the significant content of the reference. I therefore frequently included larger excerpts or more extensive annotations for each reference. At this point this work, if it were printed today, set in a 10 point Arial typeface, single spaced, with minimum spacing breaks, etc., (In other words, as tight as reasonably possible) the work would run to something over 8000 pages in length.

Now I find myself with something of a problem. As I said, the scale has gotten out of hand. Publishing anything of 8000 pages in hardcopy would be awkward at best. The finished product will have some tighter editing, but, in a very real way, the discursive nature of the project is the project, and I am certainly reluctant to trim titles or references based on their “importance” or alleged “centrality” to photographic history.

At this time in my life I have been working as what is euphuistically known as an “independent scholar.” In other words, without the support structure of any academic institution or within the purview of any academic systems. Although many kind individuals have been most helpful with advice or solutions to some problem or other, there has never been any formal support for this project from any institution or organization. What that means realistically is increased difficulty in accessing resources, and little or no opportunities for research grants, travel grants, sabbaticals, or other means of funding support. At a more subtle level it means that access to individuals with areas of technical expertise or specific skills that might aid the project is also often far more difficult to obtain. The Web is an extraordinary resource tool, but it isn’t everything. At this point this bibliography exists in the form of a Microsoft Word document. I’ve been mulling over the best and most useful way to publish this work and I am asking for suggestions from any interested parties about preferred formats, publication strategies, and the like.

My best idea at the moment is to self-publish the work in hard copy in six or more volumes. These would be divided, with two (or more, if size necessitates) volumes for each decade: 1839-1849 Part A and Part B, 1850-1859 Part A and Part B and 1860-1869 Part A and Part B.

1839-1849 Part A would consist of the journals arranged alphabetically by title, with the citations arranged chronologically under each title. (This is how the samples below are arranged.) This Part would also include brief essays about each magazine’s use of photography, so that the total would constitute an overview of the impacts of photography on the periodical literature of the decade and would provide, in a very minor way, a supplement to Frank Luther Mott’s magnificent multi-volume A History of American Magazines.

1839-1849 Part B would consist of the same materials arranged by subject. Each reference has a subject heading (Most often the name of an artist or an author, or of a photographic organization, an exhibition, or other very simple, limited  subject categories — such as “History: USA: 1861-1865 (US Civil War” and so on.) so, for example, this arrangement would bring all the Mathew B. Brady references for that decade together. (This is the organization followed in the 1990 book.)

Thus 1839-1849 Part A and 1839-1849 Part B together provide two separate modes of access to the materials, and also two ways of viewing the photographic activity (And, incidentally, the publishing activity on this topic.) of each decade. The following decades would be treated similarly, although as the number of references increases throughout each decade, it may become necessary to publish more than two volumes per decade – thus splitting that period up even more.

I will be able to have the first two volumes ready for printing within the year, and will be investigating publishing costs and trying to establish a reasonable price structure and sales strategy for the work. And then if I sell enough to finance the remainder, the other volumes would follow in succession.

I am not completely pleased with this strategy, as it limits key-word access and other possiblities that contemporary electronic systems make available to researchers. I’ve considered publishing in some electronic format, but my expectation is that libraries – which I assume would be the major market for this reference work– would resist publication in any cd or dvd format, as that format will undoubtedly become obsolete in the (near) future. And I simply don’t have the level of expertise necessary to control the product to publish it on-line, so I hesitate there as well.

I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS ABOUT POSSIBLE WAYS OF PROCEEDING FROM THIS POINT –ADVICE ON USEFUL WAYS OF MANIPULATING THE INFORMATION IN WAYS MOST USEFUL FOR OTHER SCHOLARS, ISSUES OF IMPLEMENTING PUBLICATION, POSSIBLE MARKETING STRATEGIES, ETC.

THANK YOU.

Fearful of losing the lead in technological innovation and industrialization to other European rivals, and under Price Albert’s goading, a major effort was extended throughout Great Britain during the 1850s-1860s to encourage the diffusion of knowledge in the arts and sciences throughout all segments of British society. One facet of this effort was the establishment and growth of numerous organizations or societies, established and fostered by the literate professional classes, and tied to the encouragement of learning in specific disciplines or fields of study. Antiquities research and archaeological studies held an active interest among the educated and leisured class in Britain during the 1850s-1860s. The Gentleman’s Magazine, whose demographic was drawn from this group, became the journal of record for a number of these local and national organizations; which met regularly—often on a monthly schedule. Often the same individuals who perused these studies throughout the 1850s also practiced amateur photography in order to use this vital new tool for their research. The reports of many of these meetings frequently includes notations of the use of photographs for research and reporting of the discoveries in these disciplines, and therefore provides an indicator of the increasing reliance that these sciences placed upon photography.

The journal was reorganized with both a new publisher and a new editor in 1866. “For, whilst The Gentleman’s Magazine will continue to preserve its high antiquarian character, it is the intention of its new managers, in concert with a large circle of able and accomplished friends on whose aid they can rely, to include, as far as may be, matters of present interest, and to secure for its readers all necessary information respecting the chief subjects of the day as they arise. In the New Series a much larger space will be devoted to current literature than has of late years been the case; and its reviews will embrace a wider range of subjects, including not only History, Antiquities, and Architecture, but also Art and Science, Biography, Personal Memoirs, Philology, Music and the Drama, Natural History, and Theology in its uncontroversial aspects. Fiction and Politics alone will be excluded. ‘Svlvanus Urban ‘ also desires to lay open his columns much more extensively than hitherto to Original Correspondence, especially on matters of genealogy, topography, heraldry, local antiquities, personal and family history, folk-lore, philology, &c. ” Increased care will be taken to make the ‘ Monthly Intelligence,” Gazette Appointments,’ &c.,’ Births, Marriages, and Obituary ‘ (including authentic Memoirs), as perfect a record as possible of the changes that are being daily worked by the silent hand of Time among the upper and middle classes of society;…” (Gentleman’s Magazine ns 1 (Jan. 1866): iv.) The effect was to present a more modern magazine, dealing with a larger range of contemporary issues, while retaining much of the concerns and feel of the traditional contents. Reports of the activities of the existing antiquarian and anthropological societies were broadened to include even more organizations. For example, the July 1866 issue devoted eighteen pages of texts to reports of the meetings of twenty-one national and four local societies –ranging from the Royal Asiatic Society to the Zoological Society; from the Royal Society (London) to the Yorkshire Philosophical Society and including such diverse interests as Astronomy, Horticulture, Literature, Geology, Geography, Numismatics, and Statistics. In fact, a major new contributor publicly proclaimed a sustained amateur interest in photography, and he always included information about photography in his new column, “Scientific Notes of the Month”as well as publishing several well-informed articles which display the reach and impact of the medium on contemporary society.

In 1868 the magazine was revamped again, following guidelines set down in its “Preface” “…But if the man who is not educating himself to the last hour of his life is a fool, the magazine whose life has doubled the allotted span of man’s, will, in refusing to obey the signs of the times which it records, display that which is not wisdom. It is no longer desirable, it is indeed scarcely possible, for a monthly magazine to comprise the features which, when periodical literature was scant and bad, the promoters of The Gentleman’s Magazine not unsuccessfully sought to present. Politics, Science, Art, have been beckoned to more removed ground, each has its many able organs, and each requires a diffuseness and an exactitude which are impossible in a miscellany…. The learned societies are admirably attended to by learned editors with special endowments, and that department of literature which is called criticism is represented almost to excess. Therefore we abandon work which we could not perform to advantage. But we believe that we see plenty of other work ready to our hand….” (entirely new series vol. 1 (June 1868): 2-3.)

From the 1850s on the Gentleman’s Magazine was well-illustrated, usually by engravings from drawings of archeological items or topographical views of architectural structures. These illustrations were occasionally credited to be from photographic sources. As the editors prided themselves in the accuracy of their scientific renderings and they wished to duplicate the original artist’s work with the least amount of transcription distortions from drawing to engraving; the magazine used early photoengraving techniques as soon as they became available in the early 1860s in order to reproduce some or all of these hand-drawn illustrations. By the end of the decade, shifts in editorial policy to popularize the magazine had decreased this emphasis and more general illustrations began to appear, including even some narrative scenes or portraits to illustrate fictional stories.

The second view ii of a gallery in the singular and celebrated Campo Santo at Pisa. ‘The Campo Santo is an enclosure planted with Cyprus trees and myrtles, surrounded by sixty arcades of white and black marble, horizontally laid, and forming a rectangular parallelogram. Its longest sides are erected on twenty-seven pillars, and admit the light through semicircular arches in the galleries, which are ornamented with paintings in fresco, upon sacred subjects, by the oldest Tuscan masters, and are further adorned by upwards of 600 sepulchral monuments, belonging to the most illustrious families in Pisa, and by magnificent sarcophagi, mostly of Parian marble, brought from Constantinople and Greece, besides a great number of other interesting monuments.’ It is one of those long galleries that the present picture represents; the heavy beams of its roof are uncovered; through the orifices in one of its walls the light is admitted; on the opposite one are the fresco paintings; below, and along each side, are arranged the monuments and relics of antiquity. The painting of this curious subject is by Bouton.”]

“Fine Arts. The Daguerotype.” GENTLEMAN’S MAGAZINE (Feb. 1839): 185-186. [“A very extraordinary and important Invention has been made by M. Daguerre, one of the painters of the Diorama. It is a method of fixing the images which are represented at the back of a camera-obscura; so that these images are not the temporary reflection of objects, but their fixed and durable impress, which may be removed from the presence of those objects like a picture, and will multiply impressions as an engraving. M. Daguerre requires a plate of polished metal; he places it in his apparatus, and, in three minutes, if there is a bright summer sun, and a few more, if autumn or winter weaken the power of its beams, he takes it out, covered with a charming design, representing the object towards which the apparatus was turned. Nothing remains but a short chemical operation, and the design, which has been obtained in so few moments, remains unalterably fixed, so that the hottest sun cannot destroy it. The invention has been submitted to M. Arago, and he has made a report upon it to the Academy of Sciences, from which the following are extracts: “In the camera-obscura the image is perfectly defined when the lens is achromatic; the same precision is seen in the images obtained by M. Daguerre, which represent all objects with a degree of perfection which no designer, however skilful, can equal, and finished, in all the details, in a manner that exceeds belief. It is the light which forms the image, on a plate covered with a particular coating. The length of time required to execute this operation is, in our climate, and in ordinary weather, eight or ten minutes; but, under a pure sky, like that of Egypt, two, perhaps one minute, might suffice to execute the most complex design. “M. Daguerre has found a substance infinitely more sensible to the light than the chlorure of silver, which is altered in an inverse manner, that is to say, which leaves on the several parts of the plate, corresponding to the several parts of the object, dark tints for the shadowy, half tints for the lighter parts, and no tint whatever for the parts that are quite luminous. When this action of the light on the different parts of the plate has produced the desired effect, M. Daguerre stops it at once, and the design, which he withdraws from the camera-obscura, may be exposed to the full light of day without undergoing any alteration. “If we consider M. Daguerre’s discovery with respect to the utility which it may have in the sciences, it is evident that so sensible a re-agent as that which he has found, may enable us to make photometrical experiments, which have hitherto been reputed impossible. Such,” said M. Arago, ” are experiments on the light of the moon; which the Academy bad deemed of sufficient importance for it to appoint a committee, composed of M. de Laplace, M. Mains, and myself, to make them. The light of the moon is known to be 300,000 times weaker than that of the sun; yet we did not despair of obtaining some sensible effects, by means of a lens of very large dimensions. We made use of a very large lens, brought from Austria; and having placed some chlorure of silver in the focus, that being the most sensible re-agent known, not the slightest discolouration was perceptible. It occurred to me, that M. Daguerre might have more success with his new reagent; and, in fact, he obtained, in twenty minutes, on his dark ground, a white image of the moon, with a lens far less powerful than ours.” M. Biot has also added his testimony to the value of this discovery to the philosopher; and the celebrated artist, M. Paul Delaroche, has expressed his opinions that views taken in this manner, though destitute of colour, may give useful hints to the most skilful painters, in the manner of expressing by light and shade, not only the relief of objects, but the local tint; the same bas-relief in plaster and in marble will be differently represented in the two designs, and one can tell, at the first glance, which is the image of the plaster. The smallest folds of drapery are perceptible, as are the lines of a landscape invisible to the naked eye. With the aid of a glass we bring the distances near. In the mass of buildings, of accessories, of imperceptible traits, which compose a view of Paris taken from the Pont des Arts, we distinguish the smallest details; we count the paving stones; we see the humidity caused by the rain; we read the inscription on a shop sign. The effect becomes more astonishing if a microscope is employed. An insect of the size of a pea, the garden spider, enormously magnified by a solar microscope, is reflected in the same dimensions by the marvellous mirror, and with the most minute accuracy. It is manifest how useful M. Daguerre’s discovery will be in the study of natural history. In one instance three views of the same monument are taken; one in the morning, one at noon, and the other in the evening; and nobody will mistake the effect of the morning for that of the evening, though the sun’s altitude, and, consequently, the relative lengths of the shadows, are the same in both.”]

“Literary and Scientific Intelligence. Royal Society.” GENTLEMAN’S MAGAZINE (Mar. 1839): 294-296. [“Jan. 31. J. W. Lubbock, esq. V.P. and Treas. in the chair. John Wesley Williams, esq. and James Yates, esq. were elected Fellows of the Society. The paper read was entitled ‘ Some account of the Art of Photogenic Drawing,’ by H. F. Talbot, esq. F.R.S. In this communication, the author states, that during the last four or five years .he has invented and brought to a considerable degree of perfection a process for copying the forms of natural objects by means of solar light, which is received upon paper previously prepared in a particular manner. He observes, that a prior attempt of this kind is recorded in the Journal of the Royal Institution for 1802; by which it appears, that the idea was originally suggested by Mr. Wedgwood, and afterward experimented on by Sir Humphry Davy. These philosophers found, that their principle, though theoretically true, yet failed in practice, on account of certain difficulties; the two principal of which were—first, that the paper could not be rendered sufficiently sensible to receive any impression whatever from the feeble light of a camera obscura; and secondly, that the pictures which were formed by the solar rays could not be preserved, owing to their still con- tinning to be acted upon by the light, Mr. Talbot states, that his experiments were begun without his being aware of this prior attempt; and that in the course of them he discovered methods of overcoming the two difficulties above related. With respect to the latter, he says, that he has found it possible, by a subsequent process, so to fix the images or shadows formed by the solar rays, that they become insensible to light, and consequently admit of being preserved during any length of time: as an example of which he mentions, that he has exposed some of his pictures to the sunshine for the space of an hour without injury. With respect to the other point, he states that he has succeeded in discovering a method of preparing the paper, which renders it much more sensitive to light than any which had been used previously, and by means of which he finds that there is no difficulty in fixing the pictures given by the camera obscura and by the solar microscope. In the summer of 1835 he made a great number of portraits of a house in the country, of ancient architecture (his own residence, Lacock Abbey), several of which he exhibited to the Society. After some speculations on the possibility of discovering a yet more sensitive paper, the author mentions, that the kind employed by him may be rendered so much so, as to become visibly affected by the full light of the sun in the space of half a second. The rest of this paper contains an account of various other ways in which this method may be employed in practice, according to the kind of object which it is required to copy; also, a brief mention of the great variety of effects resulting from comparatively small differences in the mode of preparing the paper; and of certain anomalies which occur in the process, the cause of which has not hitherto been rendered distinctly manifest. From this paper it appears that Mr. Talbot’s researches have brought him to a discovery almost identical with that of M. Daguerre, of which we gave some particulars in our last Number, p. 185. (We may here mention that we were not correct in one particular; M. Daguerre’s plates are mere pictures, not engravings.)” pp. 294-295.  “Feb. 21. J. G. Children, esq. V.P. Captain Arthur Conolly, and Lieut-Col. W. Reid, C.B. were elected Fellows. Three papers were read: 1. ‘An account of the processes used in Photogenic Draw, ing,’ by H. Fox Talbot, esq. F.R.S.; 2. ‘A description of an Hydropneumatic Baroscope,’ by J. T. Cooper, esq.; 3. The continuation of Mr. Darwin’s paper on the Parallel Roads of Glen Roy and other parts of Lochabar. In Mr. Talbot’s second paper, he has disclosed the whole of his interesting secret, with regard to the two important points, the preparation of photogenic paper, and the means of fixing the design. The paper selected for the purpose is of good quality and smooth, surface. Mr. Talbot dips it into a weak solution of common salt, and wipes it dry, by which the salt is uniformly distributed throughout its substance. He then spreads a solution of nitrate of silver on one surface only, and dries it at the fire. The solution should not be saturated, but six or eight times diluted with water. When dry, the paper is fit for use. He his found, by experiment, that there is a certain proportion between the quantity of salt and that of the solution of silver which answers best, and gives the maximum effect. If a sheet of paper, thus prepared, be taken and washed with a saturated solution of salt, and then dried, it will be found (especially if the paper has been kept some weeks before the trial is made) that its sensibility is greatly diminished, and, in some cases, seems quite extinct. But if it be again washed with a liberal quantity of the solution of silver, it becomes again sensible to light, and even more so than it was at first. In this way, by alternately washing the paper with salt and silver, and drying it between times, Mr. Talbot has succeeded in increasing its sensibility to the degree that is requisite for receiving the images of the camera obscure. With regard to the second object—that of fixing the images—Mr. Talbot observed, that, after having tried ammonia, and several other re-agents, with very imperfect success, the first which gave him a successful result, was the iodide of potassium, much diluted with water. If a photogenic picture is washed over with this liquid, an iodide of niter is formed, which is absolutely unalterable by sunshine. This process requires precaution: for, if the solution is too strong, it attacks the dark parts of the picture. It is requisite, therefore, to find, by trial, the proper proportions. The fixation of the pictures in this way, with proper management, is very beautiful and lasting. The specimen of lace, which Mr. Talbot exhibited to the Society, and which was made five years ago, was preserved in this manner. But his usual method of fixing is different from this, and somewhat simpler—or, at least, requiring less nicety. It consists in immersing the picture in a strong solution of common salt, and then wiping off the superfluous moisture, and drying it. It is sufficiently singular that the same substance which is so useful in giving sensibility to the paper, should also be capable, under other circumstances, of destroying it; bet such is, nevertheless, the fact. Now, if the picture which has been thus washed and dried, is placed in the mm, the white parts colour themselves of a pale lilac tint, after which they become insensible. Numerous experiments have shown the author that the depth of this lilac tint varies according to the quantity of salt used, relatively to the quantity of silver: but by properly adjusting these, the images may, if desired, be retained of an absolute whiteness. He mentions, also, that those preserved by iodine are always of a very pale primrose yellow, which has the extraordinary and very remarkable property of turning to a full gaudy yellow, whenever it is exposed to the beat of a fire, and recovering its former colour again, when it is cold.” pp. 295-296.]

Note on the art of Photography, or the application of the chemical rays of light to the purposes of pictorial representation, by Sir John F. W. Herschel, Bart. The subject was discussed in its chemical relations; and, after noticing various promising experiments, the writer states that confining his attention, in the first instance, to the employment of chloride of silver, he proceeded to inquire into the methods by which the blackened traces can be preserved. This may be effected, he observes, by the application of any liquid capable of dissolving and washing off the unchanged chloride, but of leaving the reduced, or oxide of silver, untouched. These conditions are best fulfilled by the liquid hyposulphites. Pure water will fix the photograph, by washing out the nitrate of silver, but the tint of the picture resulting is brick-red; but the black colour may be restored, by washing it over with a weak solution of hyposulphite of ammonia. The author found that paper impregnated with the chloride of silver was only slightly susceptible to the influence of light; but an accidental observation led him to the discovery of other salts of silver, in which the acid, being more volatile, adheres to the base by a weak affinity, and which impart much greater sensibility to the paper on which they are applied—such as the carbonate, the nitrate, and the acetate. The nitrate requires to be perfectly neutral; for the least excess of acid lower*, in a remarkable degree, its susceptibility. In the application of photographic processes to the copying of engravings or drawing, many precautions are required. In the first transfers, both light and shadow, <is well as right and left, are the reverses of the original; and to operate a second transfer, or by a double inversion to reproduce the original effect, is a matter of great difficulty. He noticed a curious phenomenon respecting the action of light on nitrated paper; namely, its great increase of intensity under a certain kind of glass strongly pressed in contact with it it —an effect which cannot be explained either by the reflection of light, or the presence of moisture, but which may possibly be dependant on the evolution of heat. Twenty-three specimens of photographs made by Sir John Herschell accompanied this paper; one a sketch of his telescope at Slough, fixed from its image in a lens, and the rest copies of engravings and drawings, some reverse, or first transfers, and others second transfers, or re-reversed pictures.” “March 21.

Mr. Talbot mentioned, in his memoir read lately before the Society, he had omitted to give the details of a method by which etchings on copper might be successfully imitated. This may be done by covering a sheet of glass with a solution of resin in turpentine, and afterwards smoking it by the flame of a candle; and upon the blacked surface the drawing is made with a needle, or other fine-pointed instrument. A sheet of the sensitive paper being placed under it, a perfect copy is obtained.”]

Two of them came out of the ruins unhurt; but a third had his leg broken, and a waggon-man was wounded at the same time. The fire is supposed to have originated in the room called the Salle de Boulevart, where M. Daguerre was preparing another painting for exhibition, representing the interior of the church of Santa Maria Maggiora. Notwithstanding all the exertions made, three houses adjoining the Diorama were partially destroyed. This disaster will impede M. Daguerre’s experiments on his new discovery.”]

The size of designs thus produced need no longer be kept down by that of the printing-press, as the glass can alone limit the size of the design. It is reported that Mr. Havell and his brother have succeeded in giving same true colours, also, to their productions, by the action of light. Beautiful imitations of washed bistre drawings may be produced by slopping out the light on the glass by black varnish, which will obstruct the transmission of light in proportion to the thickness with which the varnish is laid on; and specimens like fine mezzotinto prints have been produced by this process.”]

“Fine Arts. The Daguerrotype” GENTLEMAN’S MAGAZINE (Sept. 1839): 289-290. [“We have given as full an account as our space would allow of the progress of the Photogenic art, both in France and England. In our Feb. number,* (* In page 185, near the foot of the first column, erase the words, “and will multiply impressions as an engraving.”) p. 185, is an abstract of M. Arago’s first memoir, read before the Academy of Sciences at Paris, on the invention of M. Daguerre. Since that period the invention has been purchased by the French Government; a yearly pension of (6000 francs having been settled on M. Daguerre, and another of 4000 francs on M. Niepce, the son of the gentleman (deceased) by whose experiments the invention was originally suggested. On the 19th Aug. M. Arago at length divulged the secret in a very crowded meeting of the Academic des Sciences. The process is as follows: a plate of copper thinly coated with silver is washed with a solution of nitric acid, for the purpose of cleansing its surface, and especially to remove the minute traces of copper, which the layer of silver may contain. This washing must be done with the greatest care, attention, and regularity. M. Daguerre has observed, that better results are obtained from copper plated with silver, than from pure silver; whence it may be surmised, that electricity may be concerned in the action. After this preliminary preparation, the metallic plate is exposed, in a well-closed box, to the action of the vapour of iodine, with certain precautions. A small quantity of iodine is placed at the bottom of the box, with a thin gauze between it and the plate, as it were, to sift the vapour, and to diffuse it equally. It is also necessary to surround the plate with a small metallic frame, to prevent the vapour of iodine from condensing in larger quantities round the margin than in the centre; the whole success of the operation depending on the perfect uniformity of the layer of ioduret of silver thus formed. The exact time to withdraw the sheet of plated copper from the vapour, is indicated by the plate assuming a yellow colour. M. Dumas, who has endeavoured to ascertain the thickness of this deposit, states that it cannot be more than the millionth part of a millimetre. The plate thus prepared is placed in the dark chamber of the camera dbscura, and preserved with great care from the faintest action of light. It is, in fact, so sensitive, that exposure for a tenth of a second is more than sufficient to make impression on it. At the bottom of the dark chamber, which M. Daguerre has reduced to small dimensions, is a plate of ground glass, which advances or recedes until the image of the object to be represented is perfectly clear and distinct. When this is gained, the prepared plate is substituted for the ground glass, and receives the impression of the object. The effect is produced in a very short time. When the metallic plate is withdrawn, the impression is hardly to be seen, the action of a second vapour being necessary to bring it out distinctly: the vapour of mercury is employed for this purpose. It is remarkable, that the metallic plate, to be properly acted upon by the mercurial vapour, must be placed at a certain angle. To this end, it is enclosed in a third box, at the bottom of which is placed a small dish filled with mercury. If the picture is to be viewed in a vertical position, as is usually the case with engravings, it must receive the vapour of mercury at an angle of about 45″. If, on the contrary, it is to be viewed at that angle, the plate must be arranged in the box in a horizontal position. The volatilization of the mercury must be assisted by a temperature of 60° of Reaumur (or 167° of Fahrenheit). After these three operations, for the completion of the process, the plate must be plunged into a solution of hypo-sulphite of soda. This solution acts most strongly on the parts which have been uninfluenced by light j the reverse of the mercurial vapour, which attacks exclusively that portion which has been acted on by the rays of light. From this it might perhaps be imagined, that the lights are formed by the amalgamation of the silver with mercury, and the shadows by the sulphuret of silver formed by the hypo-sulphite. M. Arago, however, formally declared the positive inability of the combined wisdom of physical, chemical, and optical science, to offer any theory of these delicate and complicated operations, which might be even tolerably rational and satisfactory. The picture now produced is washed in distilled water, to give it that stability which is necessary to its bearing exposure to light without undergoing any further change. The art of fixing the colours of objects has not hitherto been accomplished; and another important desideratum is, the means of rendering the picture unalterable by friction. The substance of the pictures executed by the Daguerrotype is, in fact, so little solid—is so slightly deposited on the surface of the metallic plate, that the least friction destroys it, like a drawing in chalk: and at present, it is necessary to cover it with glass.”]

Arago, which, however, from its professed purpose, can hardly be an impartial record. Yet, with the exception of the two circumstances, which, like Nelson’s abberrations at Naples, are indelible spots on his life, he was fully entitled to the high praise bestowed on him by the distinguished academician who, like Footenelle and Bailly, accumulate and so ably executes such a variety of scientific functions. Of this eminent man, whom I have heard, both at the Chamber of Deputies, and the Institute, I recollect a saying, generally allusive to those who” write and do not publish, but especially pointed «t his colleague, M. Royer Collard, the chief of the Doctrinaires, who has seldom appeared in print, though known to have composed much, ” Je n’aime point les auteurs en poche.” His recent “Eloge Historique” of Watts is an admirable homage to our great countryman, while he does not appear quite so equitable in adjudicating the respective claims of England and France to the photographic discovery, as his Report to the Chamber of Deputies in support of a demand for pensions to M. Daguerre and M. Niepce, may show. At an after period, Carnot published his own defence:—Response de L. N. M. Carnot au Rapport de J. C. Dallieul.
