Abstract
This 5 1/2 by 6 inch leather-bound book was compiled by Robert
Adamson in October 1842 and contains 18 small calotypes. It is
one of the rare surviving documents of the Adamson brothers'
work during 1842. As the author states, ""no major review has
been attempted and only 5 images have been published''. This
study focuses on the origins of the book and on some of the
ideas that went into its making. The article concludes with some
remarks on what the book reveals about Robert Adamson's
preparation as a photographer less than a year before he met and
formed a partnership with D.O. Hill. The entire book is
reproduced with the kind permission of its present owner.
