As my encyclopedia grew larger my only regret was that I didn’t manage to place Andreas chapter from her ‘Optiques’ in the book. Since publishing the Encyclopedia of Optography I have done and learnt so much more, I would love to do a new Encyclopedia and this time include Andreas work.
Her discourse on ‘Clair Lenoir‘ by Villers de l’Isle-Adam indirectly led to some of the pieces in my Museum.
