I purchased a copy of Clerc's PHOTOGRAPHY: THEORY AND PRACTICE (1st
ed, Pitman 1930) a couple of weeks ago. Clerc does not mention Tin,
at least if he does I couldn't find it. Clerc does discuss Selenium,
Uranium copper and iron toning, gold and "Toning by the formation of
coloured ferrocyanides" (Cobalt, Copper, Iron, Lead, Molybdenum,
Nickel, Uranium, Vanadium). For silver POP he discusses gold,
sulphocyanide, Thio-urea and platinum.
Since there seems to be some confusion about Clerc's English
publications I have condensed some listings and included a list of
libraries with holdings (from RLG) below. It appears that
PHOTOGRAPHY: THEORY AND PRACTICE - being a translation of the French
"LA TECHNIQUE PHOTOGRPHIQUE" - went through 3 editions and many
printings (I have deleted printing histories from the listings for
PHOTOGRAPHY: THEORY AND PRACTICE below.) and then in 1970 Focal
Press/Amphoto issued an edition as a 2v set. Additionally, Clerc
authored a book published by Ilford titled THE ILFORD MANUAL OF
PROCESS WORK for which RLG had records for the 1st and 5th editions.
A work by Clerc on color was also published in a compilation by ARNO
in 1979. The listings below are the result of a very brief search
and are probably not complete though I thought they might be of some
interest.
