New Year’s is approaching, a time when each of us will decorate a Christmas tree, invite friends over, and light up the festive string lights. At the same time, New Year’s is a time when a large number of photos are taken. People strive to capture the moment when they are joyful, cheerful, and full of hope and excitement. For all true photography enthusiasts, we would like to present a unique book—one of the first photography textbooks published in Kharkiv. The Photographic Encyclopedia, edited by Prof. K. Kuchin. Theory and Practice. Volume 2. 1893.
