The first manual discusses Pizzighelli's newly modified platinum process. Pizzighelli was the brother-in-law of H.W. Vogel with whom he invented gelatin silver chloride emulsion for printing papers. M. Le Baron Hübl invented the multiple gum printing process. The frontispiece is an original platinum print. E. Lamy was a manufacturer of photographic papers with a factory in Courbevoie on the Seine. He first manufactured a silver bromide paper, later expanding into a range of carbon papers.
