Manuel du touriste photographe 1885

"Manuel du touriste photographe" is a book written by Léon Vidal, published in 1885. The book, printed in Paris, was intended as a guide to photography for tourists. It features a detailed cover design that includes a photograph of a "phototype" of the book by M. Braun, de Winterthur (Suisse) and the title of the book, author's name, and the information about the publishing house. The design is a classic example of 19th-century book design and offers a glimpse into the history of photography.
