Excerpt from Photographic Enlarging: A Handbook for Amateur PhotographersIt does not want a powerful lens, or any mysterious Optical combinations, to produce a huge enlargement. The same lens which will make one a quarter-plate size would make one Of the size of an acre if we could get a camera or box big enough to hold it, and adjusted the original negative at the right distance.An enlarger, then, in essence, consists of an arrange ment for holding the negative that is to be enlarged, and a lens and a camera for photographing it. It may be provided with means for illuminating the negative and with all sorts Of adjustments for holding the plate or paper on which the enlargement is to be made, and so on but essentially it is merely a camera and a negative holder. It is well that this Should be made quite clear at starting, as it will save explanations later on, since, by putting enlarging on all fours with ordinary photography, it will make the reader's knowledge of such photography applic able at once to his enlarging.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
