This is a link I picked up from APUG: Raphael Meldola's The Chemistry of Photography, 1889, can be downloaded at http://www.archive.org/details/chemistr ... 00meldrich

Despite its age it still provides some interesting information about silver halide emulsions...

This is a gem, with a good deal of practical information. All I need

now is a demijohn of Phlogiston to fire my coherent lantern!!

I also wasn't aware of the archive.org site - an amazing amount of intriguing stuff...

Thanks!

Indeed, they have some interesting things.

I already downloaded a couple of files:

Herman Vogel's (the guy who invented spectral sensitization) Chemistry of light and photography...

http://www.archive.org/details/hypersen ... 00burkrich deals with hypersensitization of panchromatic plates
