"Color and Black and White" - textbook

C:\DERP> You'll just have to believe me. And what is the sudden interest Don't know; you are the first person to ask about it that I'm aware of. Amongst my photography books from the 1940s and 1950s, there is a book entitled "Color and Black and White". It might have been by Morgan and Lester, as a supplement to their darkroom reference, but I don't have convenient access right now. It was most definitely NOT a textbook, and I don't think that there is a 2nd edition. Hardcover (certainly no picture on the cover) and no dust jacket. So, no picture of a test pattern, which would have been unlikely in that genre. Its popularity was supplanted by Kodak's "Color As Seen And Photographed", and the Kodak "Darkroom Dataguide" and "Color Dataguide", which was full of charts, diagrams, gray card and color test patches, and even multiple spinning wheel calculators. 40 years ago, I traded one copy for unfettered access to the files of the Michigan Water Resources board; I wouldn't trade my remaining copy for anything less than a Kurta or Summicron. Some old editions of Morgan and Lester's Leica Manual did have a B&W picture of a test pattern inside, in a discussion of how to photograph TV screens. 25? years ago, Dr. Marty and I did a quick and dirty summary of the basic techniques for Rainbow (Coco) magazine. -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin at xenosoft.com
