Portraits of men of eminence in literature, science, and art, with biographical memoirs
The heliotype process
Includes "28 Heliotype illustrations from a number of methods, each designed to highlight various applications of the process ... This book was prepared in conjunction with Osgood's display at the Centennial in Philadelphia. All of the plates are from prior publications and Edwards wrote the description of the process. This is one of the most lavish presentations executed by a printing firm as a form of advertisement and only Osgood would have such funds available. This book is one of the most significant photomechanical display books in the United States in the nineteenth-century."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 55.
Niagara
"13 Photogravure illustrations from 18 photographs of Niagara scenery. The plates are by the Photo-Gravure Co., New York. This is one of the few works that Edwards signed as photographer after he came to America. This book is more usually found in hard covers with a text by M.F. Sweetser."--Hanson Collection catalog, p. 104.
