Descrizione

2 SS. auf Doppelblatt. 8vo. An die "Wiener Photographische Gesellschaft", in technischen Fragen und zu seinen ausländischen Patenten: "Gentlemen. You are mistaken about the 'Debardeur', it is not a cabinet but a 12 x 10 size. We printed you all the smaller sized ones but could not do the larger in consequence of the accident to our large Hydraulic press. We have not yet received it back & cannot hope for it before the end of the month. I think it would be awkward for me to have shares in a company so far away & would rather dispose of my patents for Austria - either altogether or for half cash & half an interest in the Company. I enclose you a print from a negative of Luckhardts [.]". - Woodbury entwickelte 1864 die "Woodburytypie" (Photoglyptie), einen photochemischen Prozess, der zwischen ca. 1870 und 1900 vor allem in der qualitativ hochwertigen Buchillustration verbreitet war. Es handelte sich um die einzige kommerziell erfolgreiche Methode, feinste Abstufungen von Fotografien im Druck wiederzugeben. In den Jahren 1864-85 meldete Woodbury in England wie auch im Ausland über 30 Patente an, darunter solche zur Stereoskopie, Ballonphotographie, zu Dias, Filmen, und Projektoren.
