介绍（中）	早期，摄影被认为是科学研究的潜在工具。在英国和法国，科学家们应用经验观察来解释地球的起源，它的动植物，摄影提供了一种实现更大，更持久的光学完整性的方法。来自马萨诸塞州格林菲尔德的外科医生詹姆斯·迪恩（James Deane）开始了他的鱼画工作（ikhnos，来自希腊语，意思是"跟踪"或"痕迹";graphia，来自拉丁语，意思是"绘画"），当时在附近采石场开采的砂岩中发现了化石。 "来自康涅狄格河砂岩的鱼形图"是迪恩一生的"最高劳动"，其中包含迪恩的素描，以及在迪恩的指导下工作的一位不知名摄影师制作的盐纸版画。关于自然科学的插图书籍被广大读者所消费，并因其精美的插图和它们传达的科学知识而受到赞赏。在引言中，作者将照片本身描述为"精美的艺术标本"。 "Ichnographs"是美国出版的第一批用照片插图的书籍之一。
介绍（英）	Early on, photography was recognized as a potential tool for scientific investigation. In England and France, where scientists applied empirical observation in their quest to explain the origins of the earth, its flora and fauna, photography presented a means for achieving greater--and more lasting--optical probity. James Deane, a surgeon from Greenfield, Massachusetts, began his work in ichnography (ikhnos, from Greek, meaning "track" or "trace;" graphia, from Latin, meaning "to draw") when fossils were discovered in sandstone mined from a nearby quarry. "Ichnographs from the Sandstone of Connecticut River," the "crowning labor" of Deane's life, contains drawings by Deane, as well as salted-paper prints made by an unknown photographer working under Deane's direction. Illustrated books on natural science were consumed by a wide audience and were appreciated as much for their elaborate illustrations as for the scientific knowledge they conveyed. In the introduction, the author describes the photographs themselves as "exquisite specimens of art." "Ichnographs" was one of the first books published in America to be illustrated with photographs.
