  - ------*-------
  - In this list the prices of many Cameras, Lenses, Tripods, etc., are given separately, for those who desire to make up an equipment differing from those presented herein.
  - When the price is given for camera, holder and carrying case, it includes neither lens nor tripod. Our list has been prepared with great care, and we have endeavored to be explicit enough to enable any one to select such articles as will make a harmonious equipment. The sizes given are the largest that each camera will admit of, but smaller plates can be used in each by means of our inside kits, for each of which we give the outside dimensions with size of plate that can be used in same.
  - As our equipments are sold at a less price than the several parts could be bought for separately and combined, we suggest the purchase of such complete, wherever possible, as a matter of economy. Where lenses different from those accompanying the equipments are required, the price for making up such special outfit can readily be reached, as prices are given for the different parts that can be supplied separately.
  - When prices for such parts are not given, it designates that such outfit is sold in one way only, viz., complete.
  - As will be seen, a complete outfit for making pictures measuring 4x5 inches can be purchased for $19.00 as follows :
  - No. 1 Equipment, described on page 2,...............$9 00
  - 4x5 Developing Outfit, described on page 95, .... 5 25
  - 4x5 Printing Outfit, described on page 95, . . . . 4 75
  - This will include everything necessary for making and developing one dozen negatives, and making and mounting two dozen prints from these negatives.
  - The cost of making subsequent pictures would be trifling, as the developing and printing outfits include trays, graduates, funnels, etc., that will last for years, and sufficient chemicals for making several dozen additional negatives and prints.
  - A corresponding outfit for making 5x8 pictures would cost $22.50, as follows :
  - No. 2 Equipment, described on page 2,...............$10 00
  - 5x8 Developing Outfit, described on page 95, . . . . 6 50
  - 5x8 Printing Outfit, described on page 95, .... 6 00
  - Developing and printing outfits adapted to equipments of other sizes will be found on pages 85 and 86 of this catalogue.

  - Read Carefully these Few Facts.
  - Presumably the reader of the following pages knows something of the interesting art for which the articles enumerated in this catalogue are provided. If not, he can acquire a general idea of it from what follows, and we shall be pleased, on receipt of fifty cents, to mail to any address a book, in which all the details are given, entitled How to Make Photographs ; A Manual for Amateurs, by T. C. Roche, recently published by our house. It has been penned and edited by eminent theoretical and practical photographers, and with the purpose of stating in the most simple and concise language, everything necessary for any one to know who may be disposed to engage in photography as an amateur. It will be found equally serviceable to those who desire to practice the art as an aid in their business or profession, and all its statements may be implicitly relied on for accuracy and practicability.
  - The introduction of the gelatino-bromide dry plate has so revolutionized photography that but little preliminary knowledge of it is now essential; in fact, it is astonishing what can be accomplished by totally inexperienced amateurs who may exercise a little taste and judgment.
  - It is scarcely to be supposed that success should always attend one’s first efforts, but rapid progress can generally be made by old or young, lady or gentleman, who may manifest the slightest disposition to excel.
  - Unlike the old “wet” plate, the gelatino-bromide process has the advantage of admitting a much wider latitude of exposure—that is to say, the actual time which the sensitive plate may now be subjected to light, though still important, is far less so than by the old collodion process, and the subsequent operations are free from the former objections of complexity, uncertainty and stains. The apparatus and chemicals required are also few and inexpensive, and there is nothing which the veriest tyro in chemistry cannot, readily master.
  - Another obvious improvement is recognized in the exceeding lightness and portability of the equipments, and their greater adaptability to the requirements of the public.
  - Unfortunately the increasing demand has led many persons to engage in the manufacture and sale of apparatus and materials that are quite inadequate for the attainment of satisfactory results. We therefore point with pride to the intrinsic excellence of every item in the following list— the outcome of more than forty-eight years' diligent effort and experience in the preparation of photographic supplies.
- p.n.n. - vue 9/148
- - In selecting an outfit from those described in the following pages there are two axioms it will be well to bear in mind. They are :
  - First.—The larger the camera, the greater the bulk and weight.
  - Second.—While a small picture can be made with a large camera, a large picture cannot be made with a small camera.
  - Remember, we do not make a single toy ; all our cameras are practical working instruments such as are in constant use by professional photographers. All are fitted with our Patent Double Dry Plate Holders, which are by far the lightest, tightest and handiest holders made, and have done as much as any other one thing toward giving popularity to our equipments. The equipments are fitted with fine single achromatic lenses, which (with the exception of the 4x5) are provided with changeable diaphragms, so that the time of exposure may be varied to suit the subject.
  - They are adapted for landscapes and out-of-door groups and in a good light require but a second’s time (or even less) to make a picture. Amateurs who aim to excel, and with whom the cost is a secondary consideration, are invited to examine the more expensive double achromatic lenses described in the following pages.
  - Those made by Dallmeyer especially can be depended on as being absolutely the best in market. With these the very finest results are possible.
  - In buying do not forget that you are not going to make an experiment. Your success is assured if you follow the printed directions. Thousands have succeeded before you with only the ordinary amount of brains, and some with less than is allowed to mankind generally. So when you buy, buy as good an outfit as you can afford. With a cheap instrument you can do good work, but with the better grades you can do better work more easily. First decide what size you want, then get the best you can afford of that size.
  - With these few hints and explanations we take pleasure in opening to your view and for your consideration the pages of this little book, with the further assurance that everything therein mentioned is guaranteed to be exactly as described.

  - pushing it from left to right, the keyhole slots releasing the heads of the screws.
  - The front end of the bellows being arranged so as to revolve in a light framework which runs on the two hollow upright brass rods, when the rear of the camera is separated from the bed, the entire bellows revolves at the same time with the rear. When this is turned on its side and replaced on the screws the camera is reversed. The whole operation of reversing a 5 x 8 camera Showing Method of Reversing Camera. requires but two seconds by the
  - watch.
  - They arc made with as long a bellows as possible, the 5x8 being about four inches longer than those of the ordinary kind. The ground glass is hinged to the camera.
  - Several new features have been availed of in the construction of this camera, to wit : In all sizes except 4x5 the bed may be instantly rendered rigid, without the use of screws, by means of a brace of patent hooks that hold the two sections of the bed with great firmness. In the case of the 4x5 size, the bed is fastened with a sliding plate.
  - The rabbet commonly found on the plate holder is dispensed with, and instead it is placed on the camera, thus saving the otherwise additional weight rendered necessary for twelve such rabbets when made on

  - The Anthony Compact Camera
  - IS a recent improvement in folding cameras, similar in effect to the noted English makes. This camera is constructed with reversible back, which makes it almost square when folded, and measures (5x8 size) 91- x 9-} x 3-^ inches. The bed telescopes with rack and pinion, and when closed for carrying, forms the outside of the box. The bellows has an extension (5x8 size) of 16 inches, and the telescopic bed makes it
  - capable of use with very short focus lenses. The tripod top is built into this camera, and is of brass, arranged in such a manner that it revolves freely, thus giving the advantage of changing the field without moving the tripod legs. The ground glass is attached with our patent spring
  - action, which keeps it out of the operator’s way and prevents its becoming detached from the box, and the entire instrument, with ground glass and double holder, weighs only 5^ pounds.

  - with reversible backs, which render them nearly square in shape and very convenient for carrying. The ground glass is attached to camera by means of our patent springs, and is therefore not liable to get in the way or become detached. The bellows has a capacity, in the 5x8 size, of extension to the length of 17 inches, and the whole camera, with ground glass and double holder, weighs only 4 pounds.

  - Anthony’s “Normandie ” Reversible Back Camera.
  - HIS is the lightest, most compact and easily adjustable, reversible
  - JL back camera in the market. It is of highly polished mahogany, the metal work having the draw file finish, like that used on the finest mathematical instruments. It is provided with our patent adjustable spring actuated ground glass, always in position and never in the way. The front portion of the bed is provided with hinges, so as to drop or to fold under the camera when in use with wide angle lenses of short focus. It is made rigid by use of our patent clamp hooks, and is provided with

  - The Fairy Camera.
  - IT has long been our desire to place before the public a camera that would at once embrace these most necessary requirements—portability, compactness, and strength, combined with beauty and accuracy of working-.
  - Until the introduction of the camera herein described, the nearest approach to this has been the Novelette Camera, which for a time seemed to be everything that could be desired. But urgent calls for something still better were frequently made, and we therefore devised the Fairy Camera, one of the most attractive and elegant pieces of apparatus of its kind ever offered. In presenting it, we invite attention to the following advantages it possesses over all others.
  - Strength.—It is put together as rigidly as wood and metal will admit of, and the result is a camera of great strength.
  - Compactness. — It occupies less space than any other view camera of the same capacity, except the Phantom and Novelette, and the plate holders are made of hardwood, with metal carriers for the plates, and fitted with all the later improvements.
  - Portability. — When closed for carrying, it occupies very little space and is packed in a neat sole leather carrying

  - The ground glass springs backward in its frame, like that in the regular Novelette Camera, and is held tightly in position by metallic spring corners. When windy this is a decided advantage.

  - 'HP'HIS instrument is a most useful camera for view and portrait JL photography and enlargements combined. It consists of a regular 8 x io Novelette Camera, made however with an extra long bellows and arranged with an extension to the bed which gives it a focal length of 32^4 inches. As shown in the cut, the bellows is fitted with a movable support, which serves to hold it in position and prevent sagging when in use for enlargements.
  - The extra bed is held firmly in position by means of dowels and our patent clamp hooks, and may be attached or detached almost instantly. This camera is furnished with carrying case, and its entire weight is only 7 pounds. Price, including one of our new style double Novelette holders and carrying case, $40.00.

  - THE form of construction of this new camera is made apparent by the illustration here shown. The experienced copyist will not need any such simple directions for use as we append.
  - An important feature in this camera, that is found in no other, is, that the center-board with lens, can be used in the end of the camera, converting it at once into an extra long copying camera. This will be found very advantageous in enlarging small pictures by one operation.

  - To copy a negative in the natural size, place it in the kit on the front of the camera and button it in. Attached to the center frame of the camera is a division upon which, on the side toward the camera front- a lens is mounted. Suppose this to be a quarter-plate portrait lens, the focal length of which we will suppose to be 4 inches: draw back the center frame and the lens twice the focal length of the lens (8 inches) ; slide the back frame with ground glass the same distance from the center frame. To enlarge with the same lens to eight times the size of the original, the center of the lens must be 414 inches from the negative, and the ground glass be 36 inches from the center of the lens. To reduce in the same proportion, reverse, and have 36 inches from the center of the lens to the negative, and from the center of lens to ground glass gg inches.

  - It is assumed that the photographer knows exactly what the focus of his lens is, and that he is able to measure accurately from its optical center. The use of the table will be seen from the following illustration: A photographer has a carte to enlarge to four times its size, and the lens'he intends employing is of six inches equivalent focus. He must, therefore, look for 4 on the upper horizontal line, and for 6 in the first vertical column, and carry his eye to where these two join, which will be at 30—7^4- The greater of these is the distance the sensitive plate must be from the center of the lens, and the lesser, the distance of the picture to be cppied. To reduce a picture any given number of times the same method must be followed, but in this case the greater number will represent the distance between the lens and the picture to be copied ; the lesser, that between the lens and the sensitive plate. This explanation will be sufficient for every case of enlargement or reduction. If the focus of. the lens be 12 inches, as this number is not in the column of focal lengths, look out for 6 in this column and multiply by 2, and so on with any other numbers.

  - The Leather Covered Detective Camera.
  - THIS CAMERA is focused for objects at various measured distances, and the points are marked upon the index shown in the cut at the side of the box, the pointer of the index serving to act upon gear work to bring the camera in adjustment for any given distance.
  - After this the ground glass may be entirely dispensed with, as it is then only necessary to estimate the distance of the object to be photographed and move the focusing lever to the mark corresponding to that distance, when the camera will obviously be in focus.
  - The small lens in the upper left hand corner serves to throw the picture on a piece of ground glass on the top of the camera, thus showing the position of the image on the plate. When the picture appears in proper position on this ground glass, it is only necessary to touch the button on the right of the camera and the exposure of the plate is instantly made, its development being afterward accomplished in the ordinary manner.
  - The slide is then replaced in the plate holder, which, being reversed, the shutter reset, and the other slide drawn out, everything is ready for the next shot.

It is so arranged that its working parts are all on the left side of the box, and is so constructed that the shutter may be set, released, and its speed regulated, from the outside, without having to open the box at all.
  - Lenses of varying focal length may be used and the diaphragms changed without removing the shutter. A removable rear compartment is also made for use with the camera, which is fitted to contain five double holders and which is adapted to take the place of the focusing cloth when the plate holders and rear partitions have been removed, an advantage not possessed by any other style of detective camera. This Camera may be carried and operated in our patent satchel, thus giving it the appearance of an ordinary hand bag.

  - trian.
  - IN outward appearance, and to the ordinary observer, this latest modification of the Detective Camera looks exactly like an alligator hand-satchel that is carried by a shoulder-strap at the side of the pedes-Upon closer observation, one sees that it consists of an artfully-
  - concealed detective camera, in which all the various movements to secure a picture are situated upon the under side. For use, the camera is held so that the base of the satchel rests against the body of the operator. By means of a brass pull at the side the shutter is set. A plate in the regular holder is placed in position at the back of the camera, and the slide is drawn ready for exposure. The release of a short catch, exposes the front of the shutter ready for action, and by raising a small leather-covered lid the little camera obscura, called the finder, on the (now) upper side of the camera, shows the position that the object will occupy on the plate. The slightest touch upon a small brass button releases the shutter, and the exposure is made. Replacing the slide in the plate holder, reversing the holder, and setting the shutter again, leaves the apparatus in readiness for another shot, when the plate holder slide is withdrawn as before.
  - By releasing a spring bolt on the under side of the case, the camera proper can be removed from its cover, and a tripod screw serves to attach the camera to a tripod for ordinary use.
  - This last form of the detective camera allows the operator to carry with him twelve plates in the interior of the apparatus, and so carefully

  - packed away that no light can strike them. It is also furnished with an ingenious attachment by which the speed of the shutter can be regulated to suit the speed of the object, moving with greater or less velocity ; while, by simply releasing a catch, time exposures can be made at the will of the operator. In fact the whole affair is an important achievement in ingenious, compact and light photographic apparatus.

  - The P. D. Q. Camera
  - IS a detective which accomplishes the object for which it was made and bears out its name, the initials only of which, we have adopted as a distinguishing title.
  - Photography Done Quickly with this camera is also done well, and with the least possible effort or loss of time, patience or temper.
  - The box is adapted to the making of 4 x 5 pictures, either time or instantaneous, which may be taken either vertically or horizontally, and is provided with a finder which may be used for either position. Three patent double holders are supplied with each camera, one being our regular Zephyr double holder for Dry Plates and the other two being our new patent double holders for Films, in which the popular Climax or other celluloid Cut Films may be used.
  - These double film holders are the most compact and durable that have ever been devised, being only three-eighths of an inch thick.
  - This camera is fitted with a fine combination instantaneous achromatic landscape lens and a shutter of an entirely new design, which by its peculiar mechanism is always closed, except at the moment of exposure, the resetting being accomplished by a very simple but ingenious patented device, which requires only the movement of a. lever to the right or left, as the case may be.
  - The manipulation of the shutter is wholly from the outside of the box, and it may be made to work with greater or less rapidity as desired. The mechanism of the entire instrument is most simple-and effective.
  - A new and valuable feature is the rear compartment of the camera,, the cover of which may be removed, when there will be found a ground glass which is also removable, and which renders the camera.

  - AS shown by the cut, this camera has the appearance of a neat i6mo volume bound in black leather, and only upon the closest inspection would it be suspected that it was anything else.
  - The size of the book is 2^ x 4^4 x 6^ and it may be carried in the hand or in a neat and tasty leather case, slung over the shoulder like a pair of field glasses. It may be operated without removal from the case and is so arranged, that no part of the camera need be opened till the whole or any portion of the dp plates are exposed.
  - The lens attached to this camera is made expressly for it by one of the best opticians in Europe, and is achromatic and will be found to give correct perspective, with great sharpness.
  - The camera is supplied with 2U plate holders for plates inches square, which are carried in a magazine and which may be exposed in successor and deposited in a second magazine in the order of their exposure, by simply pulling out and pushing back a metal rod.
  - The shutter, which may be set for either time or instantaneous exposure, is worked by pulling a button, and the whole mechanism is simple and effective in the extreme.

  - Anthony’s Magazine Camera
  - IS an entirely new magazine camera, in which twelve or twentv-four exposures may be made without drawing a slide or inserting a plate holder, and twelve or twenty-four new plates or films may then be inserted and exposed without going into a dark room.
  - It is adapted to 4x5 size, either vertical or horizontal, and is so arranged that the plates or films stored in the camera are exposed one at a time, as desired, and then by the simple pressure of a spring, each plate, after exposure, is dropped into a reservoir at bottom of the camera, where it may remain until the whole are exposed or be removed earlier for development, as desired. The plates may be changed and the camera refilled in broad daylight, the process being simplicity itself. Accompanying the camera is a magazine which is filled in the dark room, and which holds, like the camera, either 12 plates or 24 films. When it is desired to refill the camera, this magazine is fitted on the back of camera in the same way that a ground glass is attached to an ordinary box, and by drawing two dark slides, one from the camera and the other from the magazine, the entire lot of fresh plates are deposited in position to be exposed in rotation ; the slide is then returned to back of camera and the empty magazine detached, after which it is secured at the bottom of the camera and slide drawn therefrom, when the exposed plates will drop into the magazine. The slides are now both replaced and the magazine, full of exposed plates, detached.
  - The size of this camera is only 10^ x 7^- x 6^, while the magazine measures only 6j x 6 x 2?. It is fitted, as above stated, to carry either glass or films, or both, the turning of two metal catches adapting it to the different thicknesses of either, and owing to this difference in thickness 24 films may be carried, as against 12 glass plates.
  - This camera is covered in black leather, with black metal trimmings, and is unsurpassed for neatness of appearance. It is provided with a double achromatic lens, and has the advantage that it may be focused from the outside, by movement of a lever on the side of the box, it is provided with a finder which is adjustable for horizontal or upright views, and has a shutter, simple of construction but thoroughly practicable, which may be used for either time or instantaneous exposures.

  - Anthony’s Patent Eclipse and Novelette Double Dry Plate Holders or Shields.
  - THESE are the most compact plate holders in the market, the rabbet commonly found on the plate holder being dispensed with and placed on the camera instead, thus saving the additional weight of twelve such rabbets when made on the plate holder (two on each of the six holders usually carried), and the item of three-fourths of an inch in bulk.
  - Their outside dimensions, exclusive of slide caps as given below, will be found to be smaller than any other double dry plate holders made.
  - The construction of our patent perfect double holders is such that several sizes of plates can be used without the aid of inside kits, for instance, in a 5 x 8 holder, any plate measuring five inches one way and not over eight inches the other, can be used, 4x5, 5x7, etc. This is very convenient where experiments regarding time are being made, and narrow strips being tried, in place of using an entire plate, or different sizes of plate with inside dry plate kits.
  - Thin wooden frames can be supplied for holding still smaller sizes, if •desired, so that the amateur can experiment with plates smaller than the extreme limit of his holders, and at much less expense. (See Inside Dry Plate Kits.) They are also much more readily managed in the ruby light than any other style.

  - Anthony’s “Victor” Double Dry Plate Holders
  - ARE constructed to be filled and plates removed from the front, on withdrawal of slide in dark room, and the plates are held firmly In position, when the slide is drawn in the camera, by the spring and two grooved shoulders at ends of the holder. An ingenious safety latch
  - is attached to this holder, which renders it impossible to draw more than one slide at a time, thus preventing many accidents. These holders fit all view cameras of our manufacture that have our patent spring actuated ground glass. Our regular dry plate kits can be used in this holder, which is as light as the lightest weight holder made.

  - Dry Plates.
  - AS the manufacture of dry plates has advanced and the many plate makers have come to more uniform manipulations in the working of the process, the plates produced have gradually been improving in all the qualities essential to good results, until it has become no easy matter to select anyone make as pre-eminently the best for any and all kinds of work, and the operator is at liberty to make his own selection from the successful brands which are recognized by all as being reliable, or to experiment for himself in new directions.

  - F'OR PORTRAITS, landscapes and drop shutter work. Weight and space reduced to a minimum. 14 doz. films weigh less than 1 doz. glass plates. They are developed in the same manner as dry plates. They reduce halation and can be printed from either side of film.
  - Anthony’s Climax Negative Films are made upon a substance of recent discovery which is admirably adapted to the manufacture of a perfect negative film, combining transparency, strength and toughness of composition, which renders them capable of being made so thin as almost to eliminate the question of weight and bulk in carrying. They are made with a fine mat surface which reduces halation, and are perfectly impervious to water. Can be sent by mail without danger of breakage.

  - Vogel’s Eoside of Silver Plates
  - ARE the most sensitive orthochromatic plates known, and are superior to all other orthochromatic or color-sensitive plates, from the fact that their sensitiveness for yellow rays, as proven by spectrum, is about three times as great as that of ordinary eosine plates already in the market. Therefore these plates require no yellow screen in landscape work. They give the different scales of green foliage, the clouds, the distance, in spite of fog, far better than an ordinary plate, and have the same sensitiveness as the plain emulsion they are made from, while other ordinary orthochromatic plates are generally less sensitive than ordinary emulsion plates. They are, therefore, suitable also for instantaneous work, and will be found invaluable in portrait work, for yellow colored faces, colored costumes, etc.

  - Alvan G. Clark Lenses.
  - THESE lenses are of such quality and capacity that they mark an epoch in the construction of photographic objectives. They are the invention of Alvan G. Clark, the celebrated manufacturer of telescopes, and are of a construction dissimilar from anything heretofore followed, and are as striking in their results as Mr. Clark’s success in the telescope objectives has been.
  - (Full Size, 614 x 8J4, A. G. C.)
  - These lenses may be used with equal facility in three directions :
  - 1. To all work to which the rapid rectilinear type may be adapted, when they give an angle of about 60 degrees, and in which capacity we enumerate them under List No. i.
  - 2. To all work requiring a medium angle objective, as enumerated under List No. 2.
  - 3. When they may be used as wide angle objectives, having an aperture of nearly 100 degrees, and as such they may be used with larger stop than any other specially constructed wide angle lenses. They are quite free from marginal distortion and magnified perspective, so common to lenses of this class. As wide angle lenses they are quoted under List No. 3. When using these lenses in this capacity, care should be used in beveling the back of the front board, so as to allow free passage of the rays.
  - The lenses are uncemented, each lens of the combination being mounted for itself, and are therefore free from danger of gradual decrease in speed, so common in many lenses, owing to the chemical change in the cement. The crown glass is on the outside, and therefore less liable to become scratched. The mountings are unusually compact, and each mounting has engraved upon it Mr. Clark’s autograph as well as our firm name.

  - While these lenses are intended to be used in all outdoor work, they are also particularly suited to copying, enlarging and photo-engraving work, and are superb for portraiture, particularly for groups, covering the plates for which they are rated, noticeably better than any others. Their characteristic qualities in almost every direction are of so high an order that we have no hesitation in claiming that they are superior to any lens yet produced.

  - Dallmeyer’s Lenses.
  - THE extraordinary unanimity of opinion regarding the excellence of Mr. Dallmeyer’s lenses both in Europe and America, is one of the most gratifying evidences of their great superiority. There is not a photographer of any note on either side of the Atlantic who is not the possessor of one or more—some can count them by the dozen—and the difference in cost between these and the inferior ones is very slight, when their great superiority is considered. None others approach them, and they have long been justty held to be the most indispensable of all the requisites of the art.
  - In the quality of the glass used; in the perfection of finish and adjustment ; in softness, crispness and depth ; in rapidity, delicacy and every quality a lens should possess, the Dallmeyer lenses are unrivaled. With or without diaphragms, they are better adapted to the particular work in hand than any others ever made, and every kind of photographic requirement is provided for. Before purchasing, carefully read the information contained in the catalogue, particularly that regarding the series of rapid rectilinear and the wide angle rectilinear.
  - The first requirement in making photographs of great merit, whether for portraiture, landscapes, architectural views, or copying, is a lens that in skilled hands promises the very best results. Those who excel uniformly select Dallmeyer lenses and pronounce them indispensable.
  - The Patent Portrait combinations have an adjustment of the back lens by which a diffusion of focus or depth of definition is obtained. This is not found in any other make. They also have a full set of the Waterhouse diaphragms in morocco cases.
  - Mr. Dallmeyer’s line of lenses is the most complete of any in market, embracing everything that can be wanted for any possible operation.
  - Dallmeyer’s "Wide-Angle Rectilinear Lenses.*
  - (Patent.)
  - THuSE LENSES embrace angles of pictures from 90 to 100 deg., and enable photographers to take views of buildings, interiors, etc., in confined situations, where lenses of longer focus cannot be used, and where absolute rectitude of lines is imperative.
  - The wide-angle rectilinear lens has the following advantages over existing non-distorting double combination lenses : It is entirely free from a central spot. It can be used with a larger stop, i. e., it is quicker in action. It

  - produces a more brilliant picture. The lenses of which it is composed are smaller and thinner, for a given sized plate, than those of other lenses intended for the same size of picture.
  - The lenses are mounted in rigid settings or tubes, and each is furnished with a rotating diaphragm plate. In the column below, the largest size of plate covered by each lens is recorded ; and if microscopic definition up to the corners be required the smallest or smallest but one stop should be used.

  - Dallmeyer’s Rapid Rectilinear Lenses.
  - (Patent.)
  - THE RAPID RECTILINEAR LENS is emphatically “ The Lens ” for all kinds of outdoor photography. It works at an intensity of k, and, although not so rapid as the D Lens, requiring nearly double the
  - exposure, is superior to it for views because of its having only four, instead of six, reflecting surfaces. It is composed of two exactly symmetrical cemented combinations, and unlike most existing double combination cemented lenses, requiring small stops to cure the inherent excessive spherical aberration, the Rapid Rectilinear is aplanatic, i. e., it works with the full opening. Hence its superiority for all kinds of quick outdoor pictures, groups, instantaneous effects, landscapes, architectural subjects, or for dimly-lighted interiors. For copying and enlarging this lens is unrivalled. With smaller stops each lens covers the next larger, or even two sizes larger plates than those recorded, thus embracing angles of pictures from sixty to eighty degrees and this without any trace of flare or central spot. Many fine large portrait studies have been taken with this lens, and it is to be found in the possession of almost every photographer of eminence wherever the art is practiced. Either combination can be used singly as an ordinary landscape lens ; focus, about twice that of the compound lens.

  - Each lens is supplied with a set of Waterhouse diaphragms. If required, any of the lenses marked below can be used, with smaller stops, for the next size larger view.
  - N. B.—It is recommended that all rapid rectilinear lenses above the ioxi2 size should always be focused with a medium stop (No. 3), whether the picture is to be afterwards taken with a larger or smaller stop. Each lens is constructed to give the greatest possible “ depth of focus " which involves the above conditions.

  - Dallmeyer’s Rapid Landscape Lens. (Long Focus.)
  - THIS is a single combination landscape lens specially constructed for obtaining large images in distant views, mountain scenery, balloon photography, etc. Each lens is supplied with a set of Water-house diaphragms, the apertures of the stops of these lenses being too large to admit of their arrangement in the form of a rotating diaphragm as supplied with the “wide angle” landscape series. It has a working intensity somewhat more than (or about twice as quick as the wide angle landscape lens), and in this condition is entirely free from outstanding spherical aberration, i. e., gives a perfectly defined image.

  - Dallmeyer’s New Wide Angle Landscape Lens.
  - THIS is a single combination landscape lens, working at an intensity of gg-, and is the best lens for landscapes, pure and simple, embracing large angles. Being a single combination, like the rapid landscape, it has but two reflecting surfaces and therefore produces a more brilliant picture than the wide-angle multiple lenses. It works with a proportionally large stop, i. e., it is quicker in action and the illumination is more equally distributed from the center to the margin of the plate. Being composed of three lenses cemented together it is superior to the old Meniscus, composed of two, inasmuch as it produces less distortion, gives better marginal definition and is of much smaller size.

  - Anthony’s Climax Shutter.
  - THE shutter is attached to the lens tube by means of a metal collar, that is provided with a binding screw to hold it firmly in place. The shutter consists of a wooden casing, with facing of hard rubber, inside of which is a hard rubber slide, having an aperture corresponding
  - in size to the aperture in the casing. This slide runs very easily in the grooves in wooden casing? and admits of a very rapid exposure when the shutter is set at full speed. The shutter is set by turning (towards the right) the milled screw at the left hand side of back. The speed can be regulated at will by drawing out or pushing in the brass pull, seen in the cut, at lower left hand side of shutter, a binding screw at the left serving to hold this pull at any desired distance, thus perfectly regulating the speed.
  - For time exposures the shutter should be set at slow speed, and the little brass piece on top of shutter at the left hand side (see cut), so adjusted as to allow the long arm of the trigger to reach down as far as it will go, thereby engaging with the lower pin on the slide at the moment

  - For time exposure, turn the catch upward to the right.
  - The hood should be removed from the lens when possible in using this shutter, and care should be taken to have the collar of shutter closely fitted to lens to exclude light.

  - movable collar, which, by the ase of three turn screws, may be made either larger or smaller, so that if is adjustable to any ordinary lens.
  - By a very simple and ingenious device, this shutter is changed from long time exposure to the most rapid instantaneous working, all that is needed to effect the change being the adjustment of a metal catch.
  - It is provided with Pneumatic Release which works either time or instantaneous movement, and for the former is unlike most other shutters in use, inasmuch as the bulb must be compressed for opening the shutter and again compressed for closing it; a metal catch dropping and holding it open until released by the second pressure of bulb, whether for long or short time. The shutter responds instantly to the compression of the bulb, thus giving the operator perfect control of his exposure.
  - It is compact, light and simple in construction, easily worked and of fine appearance, and each shutter is neatly packed in a small mahogany case, which will readily fit into the pocket.

  - extra prices as for rotary stops, by which Silent time and very slow to quite rapid instantaneous exposures can be made without having to

  - Opening in shutter should be about the size of next to largest diaphragm. Shutters can be furnished complete for most standard lenses, but it is to customer’s interest to forward his lens tube to ensure a perfect fit, which is returned to him intact, with complete shutter.
  - The Duplex can be operated, either time or instantaneous, as easily from a considerable distance as when close by.
  - The Triplex Shutter.
  - (improvement on the “duplex.”)
  - THE Triplex shutter gives facility of three methods of exposure r Quick instantaneous, time, slow instantaneous. Time and slow instantaneous are effected in manner similar to silent time, slow instantaneous to Duplex shutter. Its simplicity of construction and operation, and
  - its mechanism being on front in sight, recommend it. It has met with much favor since its introduction in Summer of 1889. It is easily adapted for use in detective boxes, to be released by either, or both, push trip or pneumatic. It is also made in stereoscopic form. The makers of this shutter assert that practical comparison with any other will demonstrate its unquestioned superiority. When net particular size shutter is specified in order, lenses as a rule are adapted Two-third Size 4 x 5 Shutter. to shutter having opening less than
  - the largest diapraghm of lens. Thus, a 6£ x 8-5- lens is adapted to a No. 1 shutter.

  - The “Hadden” Shutter.
  - (.Patented,.)
  - FOR INSTANTANEOUS OR TIME EXPOSURES.
  - THIS shutter is made of metal, with hard rubber face and disks.
  - The latter are propelled by levers connecting them with the revolving plate, this plate being actuated by means of a lever and cord. This shutter, though expensive, is one of the most perfect ever made.
  - To Operate the Shutter.— For instantaneous work, push the lever, A, to the right (as shown in the cut). Revolve the nut, C, until the aperture is full, when the focus can be obtained. Revolve it further until it catches, and pull out the slide, D, as far as it will go ; then press the bulb and the operation is effected. For time exposures, push in the slide, D, to slacken the speed, push the lever, A, to the left, press the bulb and release the pressure. The shutter will remain open until the bulb is again pressed, when it closes instantly.
  - The shutter is attached to the front of the lens by means of a collar. They are kept in stock of two sizes, aperture of and inches.
  - Collars may be fitted to any of the regular makes of lenses in market.

  - Diaphragm Shutter.
  - TIME AND INSTANTANEOUS, WITH SILENT TIME ATTACHMENT.
  - THE advantages of the principles involved in the Diaphragm Shutter are so apparent that they have from the outset been fully appreciated. It requires little argument to show that the proper place for opening and closing a Shutter is in the optical axis of
  - the Lens, and in both time and instantaneous photography, it is evident that this Shutter, starting its opening with a pin hole and gradually increasing to the size of stop for which it is set, and returning in the same manner, will give the effect of a small stop, i. <?., more depth and flatness.
  - The makers have taken advantage of all the improvements, and offer the Model ’90 with the confidence that it meets every condition. While the Shutter is in itself a nice piece of mechanism, the workmanship and finish are of the highest order.
  - The advantages of this Shutter over others are as follows :
  - There are no loose stops. The variation in size of stop is made by turning the black disk, which is supplied with a large index. Absolute control of time exposure. Large index giving correct indication of time, in seconds and fractions thereof. Entire independence of speed regulation from the influence of temperature or humidity. By turning a lever it is set for either time or instantaneous exposure, and remains so until changed. The movement during exposure is almost absolutely free from concussion. The blades are changed from steel to hard rubber, so that there is no danger from rust. Ail parts which must be manipulated are placed at the front, easy of access. We guarantee that the Shutters and barrels
  - optically centered, whether arranged for our
  - Model ’90.
  - (Cut two-thirds of actual 5x8 size.)
  - and
  - are absolutely true Lenses or others.
  - While we have sample that there is a variation
  - barrels of almost all known Lenses, we find in the thread of almost all makes. We will therefore assume no responsibility in fitting the same, and recommend that the Lenses or Lens tubes be sent to us to be fitted.

  - to the camera and front, the use of which is obvious, your attention is called to the apparatus for illumination, which is by all odds the most important feature of any enlarging lantern.
  - The lamp, which is intended for use with kerosene, is provided with a double-wick burner, both flames emerging through a single aperture in the dome. This feature increases the volume of light two-fold ; the burner is provided with a close-fitting chimney-base fitted with an aperture covered with non-actinic glass, intended both for dark room illumination and also for observing the height of the flames. A conical light conductor connects the lamp with the condensing lenses, and is made to telescope so as to adjust the light accurately to the focus of the condensers ; this light conductor has an aperture at the side covered with a movable metallic disk, and is intended to admit of the operator finding the centering point of his flame on the condensers ; this he will see at a glance by the reflector. The lamp is not rigid, but can be revolved so as to bring the flame in any desired position. Some negatives require a more intense light than others, and experience will show how to arrange the light for any particular occasion.
  - The form of this lantern is such that all heat passes upwards through the chimney, and as there is no boxing around the apparatus it is always cool, and all risk of breaking lenses or negatives is avoided. The change from the use of artificial light to daylight is better shown in the cut than described in writing. With this lantern and a half-inch stop in a half-size portrait lens, life-sized enlargements from cabinet negatives may be easily made with Anthony’s Reliable Bromide Paper in from thirty-five seconds to one minute, according to density of negative.
  - Cooper Lantern as transformed into a Daylight Enlarging Camera.
  - The design of this lantern is the result of long practical experience with various methods of illumination for enlarging, and we can guarantee its giving results as perfect as the electric light at a cost that makes comparison ridiculous. This lantern is also admirably suited for slide projection, and is therefore of double value to societies and colleges.

  - For Daylight Enlarging.—Remove the lamp and condensers, rack the front inward as far as it will come, then raise the back of the bellows-bearing frame from its position to the back of the bed-board on which it will be securely held by the screw heads which fit into the key-hole slots corresponding. Remove the front in the same way and set it back on the screws designed for it, which will be found on the movable bed operated by the rack work. Attach the ground-glass frame to the back and the instrument is ready for use. A dark room with an aperture in the window allowing the ground glass end to fit firmly so as to exclude all outside light, but allowing an unobstructed view of the sky, is the most satisfactory.
  - If you cannot get a clear view of the sky use a mirror at a proper angle to refleetthe sky above. White card-board reflectors may be used, but nothing equals the mirror. A shelf should be fastened to the window to support the weight of the camera.
  - Used as a Copying or Portrait Camera.—Besides the double use for artificial or daylight work, this camera may be fitted with an attachment by which it can be quickly and easily adapted to the purposes of

  - Anthony’s Improved Enlarging Lantern.
  - THE great merit of this enlarging lantern is its simplicity of construction, economy, and practical usefulness.
  - It is intended for making enlargements on gelatino-bromide rapid printing paper by artificial light, requiring only from thirty to sixty seconds' exposure for a life-size head.
  - Another purpose for which it admirably serves is that of a dark-room lantern. It is provided with non-actinic glass panels in the sides of the lantern. It can also be used as a copying camera for making lantern transparencies.
  - Grooves in the interior admit of changing the relative positions of the negative and condensing lenses. It is very compact, the size being i8 x 15x8 inches.

  - Anthony’s Triplexicon Magic Lantern.
  - WE have seen many lanterns in our time, but in several respects this eclipses them all, and especially those for use with kerosene oil only. The lamp itself is completely shielded with a well made hood of Russia iron, and is provided with the patent triplex wick, which affords the utmost illumination obtainable with any oil light. The back and front of the hood are closed interiorally by glass plates, specially annealed to withstand extreme heat, and the rear one is again closed by perforated sheet iron, covered interiorally with a highly polished metallic reflector, back of which is inserted an eye piece of ruby glass. The latter enables one to always observe the condition of the flame and wicks, and regulate them without disturbing or discontinuing the action of the instrument. The chimney is made telescopic to pack more closely.
  - The diffusing lens, specially constructed for the purpose, is mounted on a cylindrical slide, to extend, if necessary, the focal distance, while the condensing lenses, which are of four-inch diameter and can be separated for cleaning, are inserted in a corresponding slide within the wooden case.
  - The case itself is quite compact, and appears very ornamental in its highly polished mahogany, with its little hinged ventilators on either side at the bottom. The metal front is burnished, and has a spiral spring adapter for the admission of the slides. A substantial wooden box contains all, and serves also as a table for the instrument while in use.
  - Altogether, this is the finest example of its kind we have yet seen. It will also serve admirably for enlargements with the gelatino-bromide paper. It is destined to become very popular. Price, $35.00.

  - Lantern arranged for making positives by contact.
  - THE following are some of the advantages possessed by this Lantern : It saves your eyesight. It is simple and easy to manager is not complicated, yet has three separate and distinct forms of light. It is adapted for the use of either oil or gas ; is about nine inches square by fourteen high, with eight by ten ruby glass in front. Each lantern is provided with a coal-oil lamp, with improved patent burner and silvered reflector, which may be revolved in any direction and operated from the outside. By removing the revolving lamp bed, a hole will be found through which a gas burner can be introduced.
  - It can be used for seven or more different operations in photography, several of which have never been combined in any one lantern, to wit: First.—A safe light for the preparation of gelatino-bromide emulsion. Second.—A safe light for the coating of gelatino-bromide plates.
  - Lantern arranged for developing, and after fixing, examining negatives by opal light.
  - Third.—A safe light for developing the most sensitive plates, while for preparing developer or doing other work the room can be instantly

  - flooded with white light and as quickly changed to the red, giving abundance of light by which to develop the largest sized plates used. The adjustable hood effectually shields the eyes from the glare of the red light, a matter of the greatest importance to those having a large number •of negatives to develop, or other work to perform necessitating red light.
  - Fourth.—An opal light by which to examine negatives or positives after fixing, enabling the operator to judge of their quality, thereby avoiding the necessity of leaving the dark room in search of white light.
  - Fifth.—A clear transparent light for making positives on glass (gelatino-bromide). This feature is a valuable one ; any photographer can materially add to his revenue by making these most beautiful products.
  - Sixth.—The making of enlarged negatives from gelatine positives, placed in front of opal light.
  - Seventh.—The making of photo-micrographs with the clear, transparent light, which can readily be accomplished with the gelatino-bromide plate and the microscope.
  - Eighth.—By the adjustment of condensers and holder for slides and objective in front of the clear light, a very effective magic lantern is formed. Price, <$6, boxed ready for shipment.

  - Newton’s Giant Developer.
  - For Gallery or Out-door Work.
  - THIS NEW DEVELOPER, introduced by Prof. Henry J. Newton(.
  - is unlike any similar agent, inasmuch as it works from the first, until all used up, with full vigor and does not slow up after developing a few plates as most developers are apt to do.
  - The “ Giant ” produces negatives with the greatest brilliancy, clear shadows and a splendid, quick printing color.
  - It is admirably adapted to general work, yielding the most brilliant negatives, transparencies, or bromide prints. Perfect freedom from stain with rapidity of action, and a very strong tendency to do what is most desired of a developer, /. <?., continue its action until the development is completed, combine to make it just what is required for the photographer, either professional or amateur.
  - Put up in eight ounce bottles, price, ...... 30 cts.
  - Sixteen ounce bottles, ......... 55 “
  - Full directions with each bottle.
  - No preparation or dilution is required. It is sold ready for use.
  - Anthony’s New Economical Developer.
  - THIS DEVELOPER is put up in a highly concentrated form, keeps well, and will perform nearly twice the work of any similar developer. Being in one solution, its management is easily understood by the beginner, who is often “ all at sea ” with developers put up in separate solutions. It stands unrivaled as a dry-plate developer, and is extremely quick in action. It can be used with any brand of plates, giving beautifully soft negatives. To those who are desirous of avoiding the trouble of preparing their own developers it will commend itself on the very first trial ; and that it will figure as a valuable item in the travelers’ photographic outfit, goes without saying.
  - All who have used this developer thus far express themselves as delighted with it. With this solution underexposed plates will bear prolonged and forced development without showing the least tendency to become veiled or hazed in the shadows, as is so common with most developers.

  - With Ground Stopple Bottle and Graduated Tumbler for Chemical Solutions.
  - THESE CQNTRIVANCES are a great convenience to either amateur or professional photographers who wish to carry solutions of developer, etc., in their travels without possibility of breakage or leakage.
  - The cases are drawn from solid metal and made of even thickness throughout, being corrugated for the purpose of giving them strength to resist crushing or indentation, as they are very light. This corrugation answers the purpose of a male and female screw, whereby the top of the case is screwed down until it rests on the glass stopple of the bottle and thus keeps it tightly in its place and prevents the bottle from rattling about in the case. The cut shows the case as it appears when open, indicating the style and position of the graduated tumbler which is furnished with the three last sizes.
  - They are nickel finished and are very attractive in appearance.

It must consequently always be used in a room free from actinic light. It yields the strongest blacks, with a fullness of detail that is quite surprising. It is made in a quick emulsion for use with artificial light; and also in a slow, for use with daylight. It can be had either quick or slow, in Light Smooth (L. S.), Heavy Smooth (H. S.), or Heavy Grained (H. G.), as may be desired. Use it once and you will have no other.

  - The Anthony Self-Changing Shower Washing Box.
  - (Patent applied for.)
  - HE ANTHONY SELF-CHANGING SHOWER WASHING BOX for dry plate negatives is a nicely constructed and convenient apparatus. Made substantially of zinc inside and out, it has interior grooves in which either 5x8 or 8x10 negatives may be placed. When the negatives are introduced, the hose is attached to a faucet, the lid is now closed and locked if desired, and the water turned on.
  - It will be seen that the water enters the washer from above, and that the inside of the lid is made in the form of a perforated fountain, which discharges a spray over the plates When the negatives are entirely submerged, the water is all drawn off by means of a selfacting siphon, and the process of showering is repeated.
  - With this apparatus the hypo can be thoroughly eliminated from the gelatine film in from fifteen minutes to half an hour. The change of water is continuous. Price, $5.
  - Moody’s Double Fountain Negative Washer.
  - THIS is a new and thoroughly practicable arrangement for washing negatives, and consists of an outer box of heavy metal, provided with a tube at bottom, for attachment of rubber hose, which distributes the water through perforated pipes running lengthwise of the box, the perforations of which are on the inside of pipe and at such an angle to each other as to cause the streams of water to cross each other in an upward direction in the middle of the box, which results in a constant upward current to the overflow pipe, thus insuring a perfect elimination of free chemical agents from the negatives.
  - A removable wire rack, as shown in the cut, serves to hold fifteen negatives in an upright position within the box.
  - These Negative Washers are made in three sizes only, but may be used for any size of plate smaller than the one named, without adjustment.

  - by first immersing the butts (or stiff ends) of the bristles in soft rubber ; they are then put upon the end of the handle (not around it as in the old way); a belt of rubber combined with metal is wound around the whole, covering the butt of the bristles, and conforming to a groove running around the adjoining end of the handle. The portion of the brush covered with rubber and metal is then placed in a die and vulcanized (or hardened) under heat and pressure. The result is a solid vulcanized head, in which the bristles are so thoroughly imbedded that it is impossible for them to get loose. The handle being dovetailed into the head (see sectional illustration), is also firmly secured.
  - It is self-evident that this method of constructing brushes is far superior to the old modes. These brushes are not affected in any manner by any solution in which they may be used, and they can be kept for any length of time in either damp or dry atmosphere without injury.

  - The Climax Removable Leaf Album.
  - THIS album is unequaled for convenience, strength, durability and gentility of appearance. Its greatest advantage lies in the fact that its leaves are entirely independent of the book itself and of each other, and one or all may be removed from the covers, and the whole or a part replaced or new leaves substituted with perfect ease. The covers and heavy fly leaves front and back, constitute the binding, the latter being very strongly made with linen guards, which are provided with four holes and lacings ; the cards are provided with a jointed linen guard which is punctured to match lace holes in fly leaves, and the whole operation of lacing one or more leaves in this way is simplicity itself.
  - By using this album, prints may be remounted on either or both sides of card, and may also be burnished without injury to the album, which is alone a most important feature.
  - The guards being made with a patent double flexible joint, admit of the album being opened in a perfectly flat position without difficulty, and the ease of binding makes possible a classification and rearrange-ment of subjects from time to time.

  - Trimming and Cutting Machine for Photographers'
  - Use.
  - AS been devised for the use of photographers, in trimming prints, cutting paper cards, and in many other uses of a similar nature.
  - The prime features of its advantages are: An adjustable knife carriage having an easy and accurate action, with shearing cut.
  - A table rest for material being cut.
  - An accurate scale for obtaining uniformity in size. An absolute right-angle gauge for squaring prints, etc. A mechanical construction making it impossible for knife to run off, slip or tear prints, etc.
  - The old method of trimming prints by means of a “former” glass, and tintypes by use of shears, is far from satisfactory, as most photographers will testify, being slow and frequently resulting in utter destruction of the material. All these annoyances and difficulties are obviated by using this cutter. In architectural work the straight line side is cut first, which is then placed against the gauge, and print squared as desired. The machine is set complete upon a solid base, from which it can be detached and fastened to table as desired. All who have examined it and tested it speak very highly in its praise, owing to
  - its general usefulness and cheapness.

  - photographers ; his Flash Light Photographs having been awarded first prize at the Pittsburgh Exhibition in 1888.
  - Recognizing the danger attending the use of the various Explosive Compounds heretofore used for illuminating, Mr. Pine has succeeded, after much experimenting, in inventing a Lamp for burning Pure Magnesium, and takes pride in offering one which, for brilliancy, rapidity and simplicity, has been pronounced by professional photographers, who have tested it, to be the most complete Flash Lamp in the market. Its peculiar construction insures perfect combustion, and as magnesium is non-explosive, absolute safety is assured.
  - The Lamp is so portable that it can be easily carried in the pocket ; weight about 4 ounces. Directions for use accompany each Lamp.
  - Price of Lamp as per cut, complete, with one dozen capsules packed in pasteboard box, with directions, $2.50. Extra loaded capsules per dozen, 60 cents.
  - Mize Flash Lamp.
  - (Patented Oct. 22, 1889.)'
  - THE LAMP here offered embodies the latest improvements of the original inventor of this system of magnesium lighting. It consists of three essential parts, namely: a large flat alcohol lamp, a receptacle for magnesium holding about sixty grains, and a large hand pressure bulb, all compactly joined together, but separable for convenience in carrying. The apparatus when properly charged will give, with a single pressure on the bulb, an intense and brilliant light sufficient to fully expose from fifteen to twenty feet. By repeated pressures, large interiors may be photographed with wide angle lenses.
  - The apparatus is held in and operated by the same hand, and requires no other support, and the light may be projected in any direction, and at any angle of elevation.
  - $3.00
  - Price, complete, .........
  - Caution.—The so-called “ flash powders ” should never be used in this or any other form of lamp, but only pure magnesium.

The rimmed back, 7 x inches in size, holds horizontally two wicks, the pan below has other wicks or pads of cotton wool, surrounding the bowl of an ingeniously shaped brass blow pipe, to which is attached rubber tube and bulb. To use it, the pipe is charged with powdered metallic magnesium, a small quantity of alcohol poured on the wicks, which, when lighted, give a very large flame (the width of the back and several inches higher), pressure on the bulb fires the magnesium through the blaze, the result being a flash of tremendous size and actinic power. Then the back, which is hinged, is shut down, at once extinguishing the blazing alcohol. There is no smoke, and there being no reservoir for alcohol, there is absolutely no danger of explosion. The bowl of the blow-pipe is so designed that it spreads the magnesium in a fan-like shape through all parts of the flame, using only about twelve grains of powder. Inside the hinged back are hooks to fasten the wicks, also a false back with curved bottom to convey the superfluous alcohol from upper wicks into lower pan. The back has spring to set it at any angle ; there is a guard or fender to blow-pipe to prevent it over-heating, and cover for same. The whole is well and strongly made throughout of Russia iron, neatly mounted on metal-covered board, packed in box.

  - Price, complete, including rubber tube and bulb, wicks, etc., . . $3.00
  - Caution.—Do not use any of the so-called flash powders in this or any other form of lamp, but only pure magnesium.

  - bottom layer is sufficiently thick to prevent the magnesium from filtering through it.
  - When ready to expose plate, ignite the cotton with match or taper, keeping well away from the flame which is very hot; for this reason it should be prepared and ignited on a metal plate or piece of asbestos board.
  - Remember, that with magnesium lamps, pure metallic magnesium is the only safe thing to use.
  - Never use compound flash powder of any kind in a lamp.

  - Varnish for Gelatine Dry Plate Negatives.
  - IN CONSEQUENCE of the peculiarity exhibited by gelatine negatives, it seems to be desirable that any varnish used upon them should be as hard and as insoluble as possible. We have consequently prepared and are now ready to furnish a proper varnish at the same rate as our other negative varnishes. It is very clear, does not impart any color to the negative, and will not soften in the heat of the sun.
  - The trouble in varnishing gelatine negatives arises from the fact that the gelatine film is very apt to absorb or retain moisture. It should therefore be well heated, to drive off all moisture before the varnish is applied.
  - It should then be allowed to cool off to the temperature proper for varnishing. As the film is liable to retain within it the solvent of the varnish, it should be allowed to cool after the varnishing, and then, before being used in printing, it should be well heated again to drive off any of the alcohol that may be retained in the film. All our negative varnishes, viz., the flint, the special, the retouching, and Mountfort’s, can be used perfectly well with the precautions above noted, and it is better, even with the new dry plate varnish, to proceed in the same manner.

- - 1891 CAMERAS
  - FACSIMILE OF A RARE CATALOG
  - After studying the daguerreotype process under Samuel F. B. Morse in his spare time, Edward Anthony became a professional photographer around 1 842. He left the practice of daguerreotypy to become a dealer in daguerreotype materials in New York about 1847. Though initially an importer of photographic materials, he soon came to manufacture his own goods, eventually producing all the materials necessary for the practice of the art.
  - In 1852 Edward entered into partnership with his brother Henry, the firm name being changed to E. & H. T. Anthony & Co. in 1862. During the Civil War the Anthonys contributed to the documenting of the conflict by publishing many cartes-de-visite and stereograms of Mathew Brady. The name of the firm remained unchanged until a 1901 merger with the Scoville & Adams Co. to form the Anthony & Scovill Co. which reorganized as the Ansco Co. in 1907. Following a merger with the Agfa interests in 1928 and receivership in World War II, because of its German connections, the company eventually became GAF of the present day.
  - This 1891 catalogue was issued during a period of transition in photographic equipment. The successful production of gelatin dry plates in the early 1 880’s brought a tremendous increase in the popularity of photography with amateurs. The introduction by Anthony of the Schmid Patent Detective Camera initiated the development of the “hand camera’’ in America and started the “detective camera’’ craze, which by 1891 was still going strong.
  - This catalogue gives an idea of the types of equipment in use by amateurs in 1891, the still-popular folding-bed cameras and the increasingly-popular hand cameras. In fact, the only type of apparatus notably not present was Eastman’s roll-film cameras, which were then sold directly by Eastman.
  - The catalogue shows the lengths to which photographers went to conceal cameras by placing them in satchels or books or under a vest. It serves as a source of identification of equipment and illustrates the variety of apparatus necessary for the complete photographic process. The clarity of the line illustrations adds a feeling of the times hardly obtainable through today’s photographic illustrations. This catalogue is a “must” for anyone interested in the technology, art, or practice of photography in the late 19th century.
