Excerpt from The Photography of Colored Objects The first edition of "The Photography of Colored Objects" was written by Doctor C. E. K. Mees, who stated it was an attempt to put clearly the theory underlying the photography of colored objects and the application of that theory to those branches of practice which are of the most immediate importance. While purely scientific terms and phraseology are not employed, no attempt has been made to be entirely "practical," since the application of an ounce of accurate knowledge may be worth a ton of unreasoning practice. No pretence is made of being unbiased, though it is hoped that there is no conscious bias. The Eastman products are freely discussed, but the loss of generalization caused by this procedure will be compensated by the advantage to be gained from definite information. The large number of friends who have kindly assisted in the compilation of this volume makes it impossible to acknowledge all by name, and it would perhaps be invidious to mention only a few. We hope that all will understand that although they are not named we are none the less grateful to them for their various suggestions, and that we shall also be grateful for suggestions for the improvement of future editions.
