Item description from seller

This is Volume 2 of The Focal Encyclopedia of Photography, the Fully Revised Edition, published in October 1965 by McGraw-Hill for Focal Press. Long regarded as one of the most authoritative technical references in photography, the encyclopedia presents an extensive, clearly written survey of photographic theory, equipment, optics, lighting, processes, and professional practice. This revised edition reflects major mid-20th-century advances in photographic science and technique and expands the original work substantially. The two-volume set contains approximately 2,400 articles, contributed by 276 specialists from 28 countries, and is illustrated with hundreds of photographs and over a thousand diagrams, making it both a practical manual and a historical reference. Volume 2 covers advanced topics and technical entries in depth and is particularly valued by photographers, historians of photography, and darkroom practitioners. A substantial and visually striking production, this copy retains strong appeal both as a working reference and as a collectible example of classic Focal Press publishing. Bernard E. Jones (1880-1967) was a British technical editor, photographer, and longtime contributor to Practical Photography. As editor of The Focal Encyclopedia of Photography, he oversaw one of the most comprehensive and internationally respected photographic reference works of the 20th century, coordinating contributions from hundreds of specialists across scientific, artistic, and industrial fields.…
