http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/758997929

The Frederick W. Brehm deskbooks consist of six publications used by Frederick W. Brehm during his tenure at the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute (RAMI). These books were presumably kept on Brehm's desk as reference resources. Two of the books serve as manuals for various aspects of photography, while one of the books is a course outline for a photography course, published by the Eastman Kodak Company. The remaining three publications are magazines for the field of photography. Six books kept on the desk of Frederick W. Brehm, the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute's first faculty member in the Photographic Technology Department. Brehm patented the Cirkut Panorama Camera in 1905.
