The catalogue for an exhibition at the library in the spring of 1999 of a foundation collection of early photographs compiled by historian of science Horblit. Not all of the 129 photographs described are printed. The articles identify the source and when possible the photographer, date, and subject; and discusses historical and technical features. A rather extensive bibliography is included, but an index only of names and titles. Distributed in the US by University of Washington Press. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
