Abstract
Abstract Though in the mid 19th century elephant-folios and oblong-quartos of engravings and lithographs, depicting everything from ornithological curiosities to exotic scenery, were still very much in fashion and demand, the newly-discovered art of photography was slowly making inroads into the preserve of the engravers. By the 1860s, many London publishers had issued a number of books carrying actual photographs as illustrations, to cater for a new generation of collectors. It was a time when photographic albums carried the same novelty and charm which the aquatint folios did in the 1780s1.
