Carlton Watkin's Book, The Art Of Perception.

Part of learning wet plate is studying the great photogs who used the process in the past. To that end I picked up a Carlton Watkins book tonight. Should be a great read, and a great way to learn.

ADVERT from Amazon.

"Carleton E. Watkins (1829-1916) is best remembered for his large-format photographs of the American West, especially those taken in Yosemite. This new volume, the latest in the popular In Focus series, is devoted to some of his smaller and unusually shaped works, including stereographs, albumen prints, and cabinet and boudoir cards--most of which have never before been published."
