DAGUERREOTYPE]. "Photogenic drawings." In: Journal of the Franklin Institute , new series Vol. 23 (January-June 1839), Philadelphia, 1839, pp. 263-264 (April issue). Disbound. A report, reprinted from the London mechanical magazine , of Franois Arago's announcement of Daguerre's invention to the Acadmie des Sciences on 7 January 1839. "This extract, which was published in April 1839, rivals Samuel F. B. Morse's letter, published in the New York Observer on 20 April, as the first account of daguerreotype pictures published in America" (Norman). Norman 571. -- [ Together with :] [William Henry Fox TALBOT (1800-1877)]. "Photogenic drawing" (immediately following the preceding article, on pp. 264-265). An extract from the Athenaeum , containing a summary of Talbot's account of his method of preparing the photographic paper for his process, which he had revealed to the Royal Society in two papers, read on 21 February and 21 March. Like their European counterparts, American proto-photographers were almost wholly uninterested in Talbot's method, despite its potential advantages, and the earliest American photographs were all daguerreotypes. Norman 2050. [ With :] [Louis Jacques Mand DAGUERRE (1787-1851)]. "Practical description of the process called the daguerreotype..." In: Journal of the Franklin Institute , new series Vol. 24 (July-December 1839), Philadelphia, 1839, pp. 303-311 (November issue). 2 small text woodcuts. Quarter morocco-grained cloth, marbled boards (lacking spine, broken). First edition published in America of an English translation of pp. 59-70 of Daguerre's Historique et description des procds du daguerrotype (Paris, 1839), containing Daguerre's detailed instructions for production of daguerreotypes. This translation by John Fries Frazer appeared two months after the first English translation of Daguerre's manual, by J. S. Memes, which was published in London between 13 and 21 September (and quickly followed by two rival translations). Following on the tails of the great outburst of "daguerreomania" in France and England, the September and October 1839 issues of the Journal also include several short articles on daguerreotypes, heliography and Talbot's photogenic drawing, as follows: Golding BIRD. "Observations on the application of heliographic or photogenic drawing to botanical purposes; with an account of an economic mode of preparing the paper; in a letter to the Editor of the 'Magazine of Natural History'" (pp. 202-204); "Invention of photogenic drawings" [reprinted from the London mechanical magazine ], p. 208; A.D.B. "The Daguerrotype [ sic ] explained" (pp. 209-210), apparently the first technical account of the daguerreotype process published in an American scientific journal; the article originally appeared in Horace Greeley's The New Yorker on 28 September 1839; "Daguerre's photography" [a news excerpt from Galignani], pp. 286-287. Gernsheim, History of photography , p. 121; Norman 570 and 572. (2)
