THE AUSTRALIAN PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNAL.

July 20, 1896.

OUf\ ILLUSTRATIONS.

First Half-Tone Process Photo-Chrome Picture

Printed in Australia.

With this issue of The Journal we make an effort to give our readers an idea of the results obtained by three colour Half-tone Procsss Work. This is the first attempt to execute this class of work in these colonies, and, naturally, has entailed considerable trouble and expense; but the result obtained promises well for future efforts. The Blocks from which the picture is produced were made by the Enameline Photo. Engraving Co., with the assistance of Mr. C. H. Hunt, the artist who painted the original picture, and our printers, Messrs. McCarron, Stewart and Co., have taken great trouble to produce the best results obtainable. The special Chromotype Ink necessary to produce the various tones were supplied by the Imperial Ink Co.

Our second Illustration gives the results of quite a different class of work. It is generally supposed that it is most difficult to obtain good photographic results by artificial light; the picture, “ The Music Lesson,” which is a reproduction of a flashlight photograph taken by Mr. C. Gruncell, of Hobart, with five one-penny tobacco pipes, will completely dispel this illusion. For particulars regarding “how it is done ” see the article on “ Flashlight Photography,” in this issue. The Block was produced by the Daily Telegraph Engraving Coy.,

the principal operator, Mr. F. Irwin, having been most successful in bringing out the minutest detail.

The view of the Intercolonial Photographic Exhibition, recently held in Melbourne, will give those who were unable to attend an idea of its extent and completeness. The Block is a half-tone on copper, made with the Fish Glue Process, by Messrs. Collis and Wait, who have recently started this class of work in Sydney.

It will be admitted that our Supplement Illustrations this month prove that, both in Photographic excellence and Process reproduction, our Australian workers are not far behind their confreres in the older parts of the world.

A Photographic Pose.

A pleasant smile devoid of guile,

A careful arrangement of hair,

A calm regard (which isn’t hard),

A table and carpet and chair ;

A becoming dress, all fluffiness,

And the prettiest girl that grows— Oh, these are the paraphernalia Of a photographic pose !
