The articles on photography by Golding Bird constitute a reprint of his article, "Observations on the application of heliographic or photogenic drawing to botanical purposes, with an account of an economic mode of preparing the paper," published in The Magazine of natural history (April, 1839).
The color-printed wood-engraved "Fac-simile of a photogenic drawing" (page [241]) is the first published facsimile of a photograph. Cf. Gernsheim.
Includes index.
"Facsimile of a photogenic drawing of ferns (done on the block) as a plate ... printed in rust to imitate the photogenic drawing. [Also] "A Treatise on Photogenic Drawing" reprinted from the Magazine of Natural History, p. 234-44. The facsimile of the photogenic drawing done directly from an exposure on the block is the first photographic image published. The finished example is printed directly from the block in a reddish brown to match the color of Talbot's first salt print photograms."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 6.
