The ''Ilford Manual of Photography'' was first published in 1890, written by C. H. Bothamley, and published by the Britannia Works Company, which became Ilford, Limited, in 1901. Technical information regarding optics, chemistry and printing are described in far greater depth than in other photographic books, and therefore it quickly became the staple technical book for the professional or serious amateur photographer. It remained so for some time, and with each additional edition further information was added so that it might remain relevant, until the final 5th edition was published, in 1958. It still lines the bookshelves of many serious photographers, consequent to its tremendous depth, and the publication of many of the recipes for developers, including the popular ID-11 and IF-2, Ilford Photo's then non-hardening fixer. This represents a tremendous boon for the photographer, and did even more so in the early 20th century, when many would mix their own chemistry. It is comparable in many ways to Ansel Adams' books ''The Camera, The Negative'' and ''The Print,'' in its logical description of exposing film (and plates), developing the negative, and printing from those negatives. It continues to be published as the ''Manual of Photography'', by Elsevier, last edition being the 10th, released in 2011. ==External links== * (Ilford Chronology ) * (Ilford Photo ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ilford Manual of Photography」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
