It lends itself ^ to our use in so many ways, scarcely an aft or business existing in which it is not an aid, and has been so well recognized as a source of enjoyment by all persons of cultured taste, that it has become indispensable to our modern life. It is not only that by its means we are enabled to retain the linea- ments of friends when they are absent or have passed away, and to study at our leisure and without the fatigue of travel the monuments of our own race of all ages and of every clime, and the places rendered memorable by historic deeds or natural scenic beauties, though if it did no more than this it would have strong claims upon us. But it offers itself to us as a companion of our walks and rides, as a faithful caterer who will gather for us all the choice bits or grand expanses of scenery which we visit in our rambles at home or abroad, and treasure them up for our delight when our tour is over. And thus it is that the greatest benefit from photography falls to the share of the photographer himself. The tourist who travels with camera in hand is gradually so awakened to a perception of the beautiful in everything around him, that he finds it in a thousand unexpected places, and if he have the true material in him it soon makes him an artist, unconsciously to himself. To the investigator in every department of science it gives the means of verifying his discoveries beyond cavil ; to the lecturer or professor it furnishes the most perfect illustrations of his discourse ; 2 Introduction. 3 to the health or pleasure seeker it offers both the most charming incentive to find all pleasant nooks and beautiful places and the means of bearing them away as a gallery of treasures for study or enjoyment in " the winter days." By the processes and with the apparatus now furnished all these things are easy for any one. Invalids as well as the strong, delicate ladies as well as robust men, girls and boys, anybody in fact who will do so, may, with but a slight amount of practice, obtain the most satisfactory results. No soiled hands or heavy outfits are needed ; only an eye to see what is beautiful and, in securing it, a little perseverance, which soon becomes enthusiasm. In this catalogue, which is designed to furnish the most complete list of photographic goods yet published, will be found every variety of instrument, from the simplest that are good to the most perfect gems of workmanship that money and skill can make. The growing importance of Film Negatives as a substitute for glass has caused us to present a very full list of the apparatus used in making them, together with complete details of the methods employed in working. To those desirous of making large pictures especially, the method offers many inducements on account of the comparative lightness of the outfit required. We would call special attention to the superiority of our lenses, a part of the photographic outfit in which it is peculiarly the province of the manufacturing optician to excel. To these we have given the greatest care, and they will be found to perform all and more than all that is claimed for them. 4 James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia. HOW PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MADE. Dark Room. — The first thing needful, after receiving an outfit, is a room or closet from which every ray of ordinary or white light can be shut out. It need not be a room devoted especially to this purpose. Any room may be used at night by putting out the ordinary lamps or gas and closing the shutters, or a good-sized closet with shelf, which can have its door shut light-proof, may be used at any time. To light the room so that we can see to work, and yet not so as to harm the sensitive plates, we use a Ruby Lamp. A plain table or shelf upon which to place the lamp and the dishes needed in work- ing, a pitcher to hold a supply of fresh water, and a basin or bucket to receive the washing waters are all the furniture needed. A sink with water faucet and a shelf for dishes and glasses are a gain, but are by no means necessary. In- deed, many successful amateurs develop their plates in their hotel bedrooms when the day's work is over, using only the appliances always furnished a lodger. To do this a ruby lamp must, of course, be a part of the tourist's outfit. The one law for the dark room is neatness and cleanliness in every- thing. Have a place for everything where it will be at hand, and keep ii; there except when you are using it. Never use any dish or bott 1 e for any other purpose than the one it was intended and labeled for. Chemicals. — On opening your outfit in the dark room, place the various articles in the positions you have chosen for them. Take a one-quart bottle, fill it more than half full of water, and then drop into it crystals of hypo, soda till some remain undissolved. This should be labeled stock hypo. Take two pint bottles, and label one used developer and the other used hypo. These are for your developing , in the printing frame. Place upon it a suitable sized piece of Queen's silvered paper, glossy side down, over this a pad of cloth the same size as the paper, and over all place the back of the frame, and fasten it without slipping the paper on the negative. All this must be done in a moderate light. Now place your frame either directly facing the sun or a white cloud lighted by the sun. Some negatives print better in the sun and others by the diffused light. In a few minutes the printing will be ready to examine. This is done by taking the frame into a room, opening the springs at one end and turning up the back, and then carefully lifting up the paper and examining the print. Print much darker than you wish the finished picture to be, as much of the depth comes out in toning and fixing. When the shadows are bronzed and the whites are slightly colored, remove the paper and put it in a dark box to keep. . Print as many proofs as you wish from the negative, and we are then ready for the next operation. Toning the Prints. — Take your fifteen grains of chloride of gold and dissolve them in two ounces of water. Dissolve the two ounces of acetate of soda in a quart of water. Label each bottle. Make up your toning bath by taking half a pint of water and adding to it half a drachm of the gold solution and six drachms of the acetate of soda solution. Make this bath at least half a day before you wish to use it. It works best when about a day old. It can be used repeatedly by adding gold and acetate of soda in the above pro- portions. When the bath is old enough for use, take the prints from their PRINTING FRAME. 'James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia. 11 dark box and place them, one at a time, face down, in clean water. After remaining for a few minutes repeat the operation, and proceed to tone by placing them one by one in the toning bath and keep them moving gently. See that they do not adhere to each other. They at first assume a reddish tint, which changes gradually through a warm to a dark purple and finally to a gray. Watch them carefully, and when they are just entering the dark purple, before they reach the gray, remove them and place them in fresh water. The toning should be done in a mild light in the daytime, as it is difficult to catch the proper tint by lamplight. In cold weather the bath may be warmed to shorten the work. Fixing. — Wash the prints gently in two waters, after coming from the toning bath, and then place them in the fixing bath, which is made by taking five ounces of water and dissolving in it one ounce of hypo. soda. The negative hypo, bath must never be used for prints. Allow the prints to lie in this bath with constant stirring about fifteen minutes. Six ounces of bath will fix about twenty-five prints, five inches by eight. When done with the bath, throw it away and wash out the tray with clean water. Washing. — When the prints are removed from the hypo, bath, they must be very carefully but thoroughly washed, at first by several changes of water at intervals of a quarter of an hour, and finally by throwing them into a large basin of water, where they are allowed to soak all night. A final rinsing in the morning will render them safe. photograph TRIMMERS. an y soft cloth > avoiding wrinkles should be trimmed just before mounting with the trimmer to the size required. The cards thus mounted should have a pad of blotting paper placed between each, and dried with a weight on the top of all to keep them straight. L Drying and Mounting. — They may be dried by laying them flat between pads of fine unbleached blotting paper with a weight on top. If wanted for immediate mounting, however, they need only be partly dried, and then brushed over the back with "Parlor or Pearl Paste " and placed upon their card. Here they are to be smoothed down with and air bubbles. If necessary, they 12 Jam:es W. Quuen & Co. , Philadelphia. HOW TO MAKE DRAWING-ROOM TRANSPA- RENCIES AND MAGIG-LANTERN SLIDES. mHBSK are prints from negatives in many respects similar to paper prints, but differing in this, that in these the picture is developed out instead of being printed out. The process of making them is as follows : In the dark room, by the light of the ruby lamp, take the printing frame as used in paper printing, place the negative in it, film side up, and upon it put a sensitive plate, film side down, or in contact with the negative. Over this place the pad, and upon it fasten the back in James W. Queen & Co., Phii.adei.phia. 13 its position. Now take up the frame, cover the front with a large card, and place the frame with negative facing a gas or lamp flame, and about two feet distant from it.. Remove the card and allow the light to fall upon the negative for from five to fifteen seconds, accord- ing to its density. Replace the card and remove the whole to the ruby light. (The lamp of the ruby light will answer for the exposure by removing the ruby glass during that time.) In the ruby light remove the undeveloped plate from the printing frame and develop it as follows. Pour into the graduate one-half ounce of Queen's Concentrated Developer, and add to it two ounces of water. Add to this four or five drops of a saturated solution of bromide of potassium and mix well. Put the plate in the developing tray, and develop as for a negative. Slow plates are better for this work than quick ones, and the development to succeed best should be slow. Do not hurry it. If it comes up too quickly add one or two drops more bromide to the developer and mix well. When the details are fully out, but before any veiling or fading away of the bright yellow picture has taken place, wash off the developer and fix in a fresh hypo, bath made in the same proportions as for negatives. Wash very thoroughly after fixing, and rear in a clean, cool place, or in a negative rack to dry. Mounting. — If the print is for use in the magic lantern, it is to be mounted with another piece of clear glass of the same size in front of the film, and between the two a lantern slide mat is placed. The edges of the glasses are fastened together by needle paper, and preferably attached by a glue cement. If, however, it is a window transparency, it must be mounted with a ground glass in front of the film, and fastened in one of the various style§ of transparency frames. These views, when well made, are more beautiful than almost any other style of photographic print. INTERIORS. fiTHE use of dry-plates has given a great impetus to this kind of JL work, as they admit of very prolonged exposure. As all the light usually comes from a window or series of windows, it is best, where possible, to choose a position for the camera which shall not be in front of a principal source of light. If it must be placed in front of a highly lighted window, the latter should be curtained with a plain white curtain on which dark lines represent the frames of the glass, or with a light figured curtain in harmony with the room. 14 James W. Queen & Co., Phieadeephia. FERRO PRUSSIATE PAPER. *^HEN a print is desired quickly, either to test the printing qualities of a negative, or for special purposes, the "Queen blue print paper ' ' will be found very satisfactory. To use it, place it with the dark colored side in contact with the face of the negative in a printing frame, just as for prints upon silvered paper. Expose to direct sunlight for a few minutes (depending on the brightness of the day) and then remove from the printing-frame and wash very thoroughly in a bath of clear water. Then dry between blotting paper, and you will have a clear, vigorous print, in blue and white. There is no toning or fixing, so that the process is easy and rapid. CAUTIONS. It is scarcely necessary to say that in photography, as in everything else, perfection is the result of thought and care. If the worker has closely followed the instructions given, he will doubtless succeed in doing good work from the start. The time of exposure and the strength of developer are the points in which the greatest judgment will be needed. If the picture, in development, flashes up suddenly, but without becoming dense in any part, it has been exposed too long in the camera. If it comes up slowly and becomes strong and dense in the high lights without having detail in the shadows, it has been underexposed. If it comes up quickly, and passes on to a dense black, with no details of the picture, it has been exposed to light either in the -dark room or in the plate-holder. * If the finished negative is weak, while the shadows are clear, the plate has not been developed long enough. Finally, if the negative, after a day or two, shows a fine network of crystals over it, the washing after fixing has not been complete. Mechanical causes produce also some unfavorable results. Chief among these are transparent spots upon the plate. These are caused either by dust on the plate or by bubbles in the developer. The holder should always be dusted out before use, and the plate brushed with the camel's hair brush, both when it is put into the plate-holder and when it is taken out for development. PHOTOGRAPHIC LENSES, AND HOW TO SELECT THEM. HE portion of the photographic outfit which it is the most essen • Ji tial to have of good quality is the lens. A lens, good of its kind, but not appropriate to the work for which it is used, cannot be made to yield satisfactory work, even in the best of hands. No branch of optics has received more attention of late years than has been bestowed upon the lenses used by photographers. New systems have been introduced by the combined researches of scientists and practical opticians, some of them intended for special lines of work only, others for more general use, but all differing con- siderably from each other and from the older forms. This increase in the variety of lenses, while it gives a larger and wider choice to the intending purchaser, augments the difficulty of selection unless understood beforehand exactly what kind of work each class of lenses will do best. As it is unlikely that all of the many now in the photographic field have been able to obtain for them- selves a clear idea or understanding of these distinctions, we give a brief -account of the various kinds of photographic lenses and the class of work for which each is most suitable. Varieties of Photographic Lenses. — To assist those not already acquainted with the various kinds of lenses and the peculiar excel- lencies of each, we give a short account of them, and a summary of the work each kind will do satisfactorily. According to their methods of construction, photographic objectives are divided into two great groups. In one of these the spherical aberration is such that a diaphragm is necessary to obtain sharpness of focus on the ground glass in any part of the field. In the other the lens gives a sharp picture at the middle of the ground glass with an opening or diaphragm as large as the lenses, but the sharpness of image falls off toward the edges of the plate, and a smaller aperture or diaphragm becomes necessary to render these 15 16 James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia. parts as sharp as the centre. But the diaphragm never is so small, in. comparison with the focus of the lens, as in the former group. Lenses belonging to the first of these groups are called non-aplan- atic, and those belonging to the latter aplanatic. Non-Aplanatic Lenses.— Chief among the former class is the single achromatic lens. This consists of an achromatic combination, cemented together with balsam, having the piano or slightly concave face turned toward the view to be reproduced, and the convex side toward the ground glass. The diaphragm is situated at some dis- tance in front of the lens. The Diaphragm.— As spherical aberration is caused by the rays from the edge of the lens coming to a focus nearer the lens than the rays which pass through the centre, it is clear that if for any given object we could use only either the centre or the edge, and not both at once, we should have greater sharpness of image. This is just what a diaphragm placed in front of a single achromatic lens does. It cuts off from the lens all the rays coming from any given point in the view except a small pencil which, passing through it and falling upon only a small part of the lens, traverses the latter and is brought to a sharp focus upon the ground glass. Each portion of the lens is thus used by a different pencil, and all form sharp images upon the focal plane. If the diaphragm is placed at the proper distance from the lens, the rays which thus fall upon the edge of the lens have their focal length extended so that the margins of the picture are sharp at the same time with the centre, or, in other words, the field of the lens is fiat. This, with the Queen & Co.'s Single Achromatic, is very well secured without excessive smallness of diaphragm, thus yielding a brilliant image. Distortion. — If the reader will draw three or four parallel lines, about a quarter of an inch apart, upon a sheet of paper and cross them with another similar set at right angles to the first, and then examine them through a small convex lens, he will see that the outer ends of those lines which are farthest from the centre of the lens instead of appearing straight are bent outward, forming a curved out- line to the figure. This is called pincushion distortion, and is caused by the lens acting in some degree as a prism and refracting the middle of the lines more than the ends. Distortion, or the aberration of thick- ness, is inseparable from a single lens, no matter how sharp the focus of each point of the image appears upon the ground glass. James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia. 17 Wide-Angle Rectilinear Lens. — But if two single achromatic lenses be arranged symmetrically upon one axis, that is, with the concave or piano sides facing eacj^ other, and convex surfaces both outside, with a suitable diaphragm between them, the dis- tortion caused by the first may be balanced by the opposite distortion caused by the second, and the rays will pass through and form an image on the ground glass which is a perfectly accurate copy of the object, line for line. Such a combination is said to be rectilinear, and when properly constructed can be made to include an angle of ioo° or more in which all straight lines in the object will be reproduced as straight lines in the image. To effect this small stops are necessary. For taking buildings close at hand, for street scenes, and for architec- tural and copying work generally this lens is invaluable. In this group fall all the wide-angle rectilinear lenses, however they may differ from each other in minor details of construction. Aplanatic Lenses. — Thus the non-aplanatic lenses give great sharpness and, with small diaphragms, very wide angles. But they are slow in working, and for this cause are nearly useless when quickness is needed, as in portraiture or instantaneous work. Portrait Lenses. — To meet the needs of this special kiho. .a work, Professor Petzval many years ago calculated the formula for a lens, which has worked so perfectly from the first that up to the present time it has received no important modification at the hands of the practical optician, the difference between lenses of this class being the result of the varying skill of the makers, and not of any change in formula. These lenses consist of an achromatic, nearly plano- convex, cemented front lens, with convex surface toward the object, corrected for aberrations by a rear achromatic combination, whose two components are placed a little distance apart, this distance being an important factor in the correction. Thus constructed, when used with a large diaphragm between the compound lenses, the Portrait Lens gives a bright image free from aberration in the direction of the axis, that is, for parallel rays coming directly in front of the lens. But as the aberration for oblique rays is not corrected, it possesses distortion, so that it cannot be used for the reproduction of engravings, and it has a very narrow angle, so that it is not satisfactory for landscapes. The Rapid Rectilinear. — A few years since two noted artists introduced at the same time, but in different countries, another and quite novel aplanatic combination. Instead of the outside lenses of each of the combinations being made of crown glass, as usual, in 18 James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia. this lens they were made of flint glass. This gave such a power ot correcting the aberration of rays oblique to the axis, as well as of those parallel to it, that though^ of comparatively small diameter the lenses could be used for portraits with the full aperture, and by employing a diaphragm they gave absolutely rectilinear pictures of great brilliancy over a quite wide angle, from 6o° to 8o°. This lens, now known to the world as the Rapid Rectilinear, has been a greater boon to the photographer than any other lens ever introduced, as there is no purpose he can need a lens for which this lens does not fulfill very satisfactorily. Summary. — We have, then, as non-aplanatics the single achro- matic and the wide-angle rectilinear, and as apianatics the portrait and the rapid rectilinear. It remains to state the special excellencies of each lens, and to show what lenses are best adapted for the several purposes of the photographer. This we do briefly in the following table : For landscapes For architecture and street views For out-door groups For copying the Single Achromatic is good. ' ' Wide- Angle Rectilinear is excellent. ' ' Rapid Rectilinear is brilliant. the Wide- Angle Rectilinear is excellent. " Rapid the Rapid Rectilinear is excellent. ' ' Portrait is good. . ' ' Wide- Angle Rectilinear is good. the Rapid Rectilinear is excellent. ' ' Wide- Angle Rectilinear is excellent. For portraits the Rapid Rectilinear is excellent. " Portrait is excellent and more rapid. From this it will not be difficult to decide with certainty just what lens will suit the purpose or purposes of each worker. James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia. 19 QUEEN & CO.'S SINGLE ACHROMATIC LENSES. "j") ECOGNIZING that each kind of lens has its own peculiar ex- «L\ cellencies, we have so chosen the lenses of each class as to allow them to do just what they can do best. Thus our single achromatics are so constructed as to give pictures of moderate angle with great sharpness and brilliancy, and are excellent for the purpose of reproducing scenes of still life, such as landscapes. As they work with quite large stops, they answer fairly also for groups in the open air, especially when rapid plates are used. They are neatly and securely mounted in the style shown in the illustration. No. Price. p-i. Queen & Co.'s Single Achromatic I^ens, for pictures 4x5 inches, 5^3 in. Focus, . . . . . $3 50 p-2.

They work with large stops, giving brilliant images over an angle of ninety to one hundred degrees, and have a remarkable depth of focus. In confined landscape situations, where a lens of ordinary angle would not include the view, in architectural work where lofty build - ings have to be taken from the street or at a short range, in copying large drawings in rooms of moderate length, and in all other work where great width of angle, combined with exactness of lines, is desired, no lens will be found more satisfactory. Compared with other wide-angle lenses, these are distinguished by the comparatively large stops with which they give sharp images, a result which is largely due to the great perfection of their polish. The smaller sizes are especially valuable as stereoscopic lenses.. Their fine perspective effects, enabling the artist to exercise a great choice of foreground, together with their brilliancy of images, render them particularly satisfactory for this class of work.

They are perfectly rectilinear, and work well with the largest diaphragms for groups and instantaneous views. Their great compactness and lightness are a boon to the out-door artist, while their flatness of field and their penetrating power, in which, from carefully made tests, they are equal to any of the noted lenses in the market, render them very valuable for landscapes and copying. To those to whom the price of the Francais Rapid Rectilinear would be an obstacle, the Pantagraphic L,enses will be found espe- cially satisfactory. PRICE-LIST OF QUEEN & CO.'S " PANTAGRAPH" LENSES.

Queen & Co., Philadelphia. QUEEN & CO.'S "FRMCAIS" RAPID RECTILINEAR LENS. Although it has been but a comparatively short time since these lenses were introduced by us to the American market, they have already taken a front rank among the lenses of their class. Com- pared critically with the best productions of the most famous makers, they have in every case been acknowledged at least equal, and in most cases superior, to all competitors. The causes which have led to these results may be briefly stated as follows : First. — They are made of a quality of glass which is very free from color, and they thus allow more actinic light to pass through them than is usual with even the best lenses of other makers. Second. — They are more perfectly polished than any other similai lenses, and they thus give pictures of unrivaled sharpness and bril- liancy. Jambs W. Queen & Co., -Philadelphia. 23 Third. They are larger in diameter than other lenses of the same focus and covering the same size of plate. This gives room for a more perfect correction than is possible with lenses of smaller diameter, an opportunity which the maker has utilized to the utmost. At the same time the extra amount of light they thus bring to bear in photographing groups and in instantaneous work puts them easily ahead of all competitors of whatever make, so that they are especially well adapted for these purposes. For out-door architecture their depth of focus, flatness of field, and perfect rectilinear qualities enable them to produce pictures at once absolutely free from distortion and perfectly harmonious in perspec- tive. The same qualities added to their quickness of working renders them invaluable in photographing interiors, especially those which are only moderately lighted. But it is when they are tested in copying or in landscapes that their excellence shows most plainly. Here their brilliant images, even with smallest stops, and their absolutely rectilinear character are very marked. When used for these purposes they cover sharply plates more than twice the area of those claimed for them in the accom- panying table, which are the sizes for groups with the medium and larger stops. It will readily be seen that all these advantages are the direct or indirect results of the perfection of the formulae upon which the curves of the lenses are computed, aided by the perfect mechanical skill Which has so thoroughly carried into practice the results given by the theoretical calculations of these curves. We have, therefore, no hesitation in claiming that they are the most perfect lenses for general work yet offered to the photographic fraternity.

Queen & Co., Philadelphia. QUEEN & CO.'S FRANCAIS' RECTILINEAR, WITH MULTIPLE FOGL ONE often finds, on looking at the view made by his lens upon the ground glass, that it either includes some object which is undesirable, and which he can only get rid of by cutting down the size of the picture in printing, or that it leaves out something which would greatly increase the beauty. His lens includes either too large or too small an angle. Again, one sees a little nook or vine-clad rock that would be very fine if he could get it as a miniature, but which, otherwise, he must pass by. I^astly, one often wishes, as he looks at a sturdy, broad-spreading tree, or a grand expanse of moun- tain, to have at hand a plate that is larger than usual, so as not to cramp the noble proportions of the view. To meet these various requirements, Monsieur Francais has made a series of lenses, calculated so as to be used in pairs or singly, which divide themselves as regards angle into three groups, one of 50 0 , one of 6o°, and the third of 90 0 ; and as regards the sizes of plate also into three groups, one of which covers 4^x6}^ inches, the second >J^x8>£ inches, and the third 10x12 inches. These dimensions and James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia. 25 angles are so well chosen that there is scarcely a view to be found which does not fall harmoniously into place on one or other of the plates, and under one or other of the angles. As shown in the illustration, the lenses are in separate cells. They are attached to each other, as shown in the following table. The whole series is very compact and easily used, and is packed securely in a neat case, as shown. Regarding the quality of the separate combinations, the single lenses 7, 8, and 9 are exceptionally fine as landscape lenses. Their perfect polish and medium angles give great brilliancy to the views taken by them. For all work of this kind, in which straight lines do not enter, they, are unsurpassed by any single lens yet made. For architectural subjects and portraits, singly or in groups, however, the combinations 1 to 5, inclusive, give superior results, being constructed as rapid rectilinears, and possessing all the good qualities of the regular lens of this maker — rapidity, brilliancy of lighting, depth of focus, and absolute freedom from distortion. When used with the small stops they give very brilliant landscapes, and are very rapid. For copying they are both rapid and perfectly accurate. But their especially strong point is in their instantaneous work, as they com- bine the greatest rapidity with a choice of plate and angle not approached by any other series of lenses yet constructed. Furnished with this series and with a 10x12 camera, with the proper kits, the landscape photographer can scarcely ask anything more con- venient and complete.

This instrument is very compact — about the size of a large watch — and is arranged so as to give very accurately the amount of light on the ground glass. It makes a, very good test for the comparative rapidity of lenses.^ To use : — Place the aperture of the Photometer over that part of the image foi which you expose. By means of the thumb-nut, revolve the perforated diaphragm until the large opening is just visible and the three smaller ones are invisible, refer to the corresponding letter exposed at the second opening and then to the tables, which will give the time.

IT is always difficult, especially when working with a small stop, tc decide just when an object is in the best focus with the eye alone. For this cause the focusing glass is almost as necessary as a camera, if fine, sharp work is to be done. It is adjustable either by screw or slip-tube, and should be placed against the back of the ground glass plate before attempting to focus a view, and adjusted so as to show the ground glass surface sharply while still pressed against the back of the plate. Then set it rigidly at this focus by clamping it, or otherwise, and when using it on the view afterward, simply bring the objects to a sharp focus in the focusing glass by moving the camera lens or body in or out, without deranging the adjustment of the examining lens.

Queen & Co., Philadelphia. faultless accuracy is obtainable, as well as the perfect finish which is always given fine work of this class. This accuracy of the inclos- ing case and moving parts is plainly indicated by the very light spring, which easily produces the highest speed with the only suffi- cient power to overcome the inertia— friction is reduced to a minimum. The opening is symmetrical, beginning from the centre and gradually forming a perfect circle as it grows larger. The shutter itself is com- posed of two light leaves which cannot become misplaced or broken, and which counterbalance each other in every movement. The small tumbler shown in the illustration controls the exposure ; when pressed down the movement is instantaneous, the speed depend- ing on the spring, which is adjustable as shown. When this tumbler is pressed up the movement stops at full open, and only closes upon releasing the pressure on the bulb. When a quick touch and release is made by the bulb there is a scarcely per- ceptible pause at open, making a slow instantaneous under perfect control of the operator. After being set, and the dark slide drawn, it may be changed to time or instantaneous (slow or fast), by a touch of the finger. It gives time exposures from i to T \ second, which is an important advantage. Mount on the camera in the position shown. To set it, depress the small crank until it catches, observe that the. tumbler is right. For focusing, depress the crank over half-way, elevate the trigger con- nected with the piston, and let the crank return until it engages the trigger, see that the tumbler is set for time, otherwise this operation will fail.

This device gives a broad sheet of light and fully stands the test for rapidity. Its simplicity is its chief merit. We place it on the market without ornamentation at the lowest price that is possible for an effective lamp, and guarantee its performance to be equal to any and superior to the majority of devices now offered for sale. To use, pour in the cover enough alcohol to saturate the wick, then invert the lamp and place the wick in the alcohol. Replace the lamp on its base again and put the charge of pure magnesium in the funnel. Light the wick. Hold the tubing firmly with the finger and thumb of the left hand and squeeze the bulb forcibly with the right Release the tube quickly, and at the same time expel all the air in the bulb. When properly done this will produce an instantaneous flash. Use from three to sixteen grains of magnesium. No. p-210. Queen Flash Lamp, . Price. . $o 75 84 James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia. THE QUEEN PLASH LAMP, 1889. PATENT APPLIED FOR. A reference to the cut will show that this is an improvement on our original model, and that it differs radically from all other lamps. The circular asbestos wick gives the most perfect combustion possi- ble. The absence of the customary and awkward rubber bulb and tube is noticeable. The powder is placed in the central reservoir, which is actuated by a strong spring, and under perfect contol of the trigger. When this is released, it springs upward to its limit and rebounds. The powder continues onward, and by the action of the central spindle it passes into the flame in finely divided particles, so that perfect combustion of all the powder takes place. The lamp is especially adapted to the use of pure Magnesium, but it will be evident that it is the safest and the best means of igniting any of the explosive flash-light powders now in use. With these compounds, the period of ignition is reduced to a small fraction of the time usually occupied by the explosion. Consequently in scientific work requiring the shortest possible exposures, where the smoke is no ob- jection, this lamp with flash powders gives perfect results. This lamp is held in position and discharged with one hand, and may be held directly or supported on a rod of any length with a string pass- ing from the trigger to a ring for the forefinger. For large work a battery may be placed at available points, and discharged by one string. They are thoroughly made of brass, and nickel-plated.

It has extra long bellows, the 5x8 having a focal capacity of 19 inches and other sizes in proportion ; this allows the use of lenses of extreme length of focus, while lenses of the shortest focus can also be used ; owing to the extra length of bellows the Camera can be used for copying and enlarging, if desired, and in fact is as near a Univer- sal Camera as can well be made. It has reversible back with our spring acting ground- glass frame by which the plate-holder is inserted between the ground glass and camera-back. It has full rack-and-pinion, the movement being perfectly smooth. All metal work is done of brass, polished and lacquered. It is made with both single and double swing, has rising and fall- ing front controlled by a spring acting in a ratchet, doing away with milled heads. The forward end of bellows is attached to the movable front and slides with it, thus avoiding a possibility of cutting off the rays of light. The camera-box is made of selected mahogany highly polished, the entire workmanship being of the highest order. 46 James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia. UNIVERSAL. Partially Folded. Folded.

For instance, a customer ordered a 6^x8>< Camera, with 11x14 extra back; to preserve due proportion, we furnished an 8x10 bed, which was small enough to take the 6^x8^ back, and large enough to support the 11x14 back ; the cost was, 6ysx 8}4 back, ii X14 back, 8 xio bed, Total, $68 00 . $18 00 . 30 00 20 00 The cost of the two Cameras complete would have been $96.00, hence the saving was $28.00, while the outfit was 25 per cent, lighter than two Cameras.

James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia. 49 ST. LOUIS REVERSIBLE BACK CAMERAS. This instrument is made of the best mahogany and is finely finished. It is made as light as possible without loss of stability. It has cone bellows, and the front slides up and down to adjust' the foreground and sky. The focusing is by a rack-and-pinion, which moves the front instead of the back. As the ground glass thus remains stationary, focusing is made easy, as the bed is out of the way, giving more control over the focusing cloth, and also enabling the operator to get closer to a wall or in a corner in photographing interiors or other confined positions. The carrier at the back is reversible, thus permitting a picture to be taken either vertically or horizontally on the plate. The back of the camera is rigidly fastened to that part of the bed which is clamped to the tripod. By this device greater rigidity and steadiness is given to the back in exposure. The ground glass, being held in place by springs, is simply pushed back to admit the plate- holder, which slips into its place. In the larger sizes the bed is made in two parts, so that one may be removed when the operator is working with a wide-angled lens of very short focus. This camera includes one daisy plate-holder, without recess in the face, and canvas carrying case. Single Double No. Swing Back. Swing Back. p-350.

TOURIST'S POCKET OUTFITS. The frames and front of these Cameras are made of mahogany and finely finished. The nickel-plated rods and connectors which move the front are easily removed in packing and replaced for use. When folded up the 4x5 size measures but 5^x6^x2 inches, and it is without any projecting parts or screws, so that it may be slipped into the pocket readily and safely. The weight of this size is only 1^ pounds with the dry-plate holder. In both the sizes the weight is nicely balanced on the centre of the tripod, which greatly lessens the risk of vibration. In focusing, the front of the camera with the lens is pushed forward, and when the focus is obtained the lens and front are fastened in their position by a screw acting on a spring, which presses against the focusing rods.

The Midget Pocket Camera is the most compact camera ever made, it being but \% inches thick when folded, and the 3^x4^ can be carried in an ordinary coat pocket, while the 4x5 can be carried in an overcoat pocket. On account of its compactness it is invalu- able for ladies, tourists, bicyclists, and canoeists. While so very compact, yet the 3^x4^ camera has a focal length of 6y 2 inches while the 4x5 has 7^ inches, so that any lens can be used if desired. The Midget Pocket Camera is made in the best possible manner, being made of selected mahogany, highly polished, with metal work of polished and lacquered brass. It has rising front, vertical swing, and has fine rack-and-pinion focusing movement ; the ground glass is spring acting, the holder sliding between it and the camera-box. The lens is a Rectilinear lens of great depth, and which is made compact enough to remain attached to the front board and be reversed in the camera. The tripod is an ingenious invention, it having the appearance of a cane when folded. The 3^x4^ when folded measures 4x5^x1^ inches, and weighs less than one pound.

It has not come to be generally known, but such is the fact, that artists of renown and shrewd detectives carry about these cameras, and pictures are secured by them for their different lines of study through their instrumentality in a manner which is perfectly simple — in fact, it requires no skill other than to get within the range of focus of the unsuspecting victim. As the party, whether man, woman, or child, is not aware that anything unusual is trans- piring, the expression of the countenance and the pose are not arranged with reference to their appearance in a picture. A quick working lens is hidden in the camera, and also a few plate-holders. By pressing on a spring the whole operation of exposure is completed. It followed naturally upon the introduction of the roll-holder that it should be applied to the Peerless Detective Camera, and this has been done in a manner that displays the greatest ingenuity. Instead of three double dry-plate holders, but one will accompany the roll* holder. James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia. 53 Many amateurs have declared that the pleasure of picture- taking «vas not fully revealed to them until they had procured and tried one $f the Peerless Detective Cameras.

In addition to the cone front sliding arrangement for adjustment of foreground and sky, it has an ingenious device for reversing the plate-holder, by rotating it on the back of the camera, without disturbing the body of the instrument and without taking off the back. The sizes below 10x12 are made either with the usual back focusing arrangement or by a rack and pinion, moving the front with its lens. The 10x12 inch and all larger sizes are only made with the back focus.

The frame is square and large enough to carry the re- spective plates either horizontally or vertically. The front and the plate-holder are reversible. Each size is furnished with kits to carry any sized plate from its full size down to 3^x4^. The double bellows is very long, being about six feet in the 8x10 size. It has a side opening to permit the proper adjustment of the lens and diaphragms, without disturbing the front. It is a very valuable instrument for the production of lantern or other transparencies, and for printing upon gelatino-bromide paper. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. To copy a negative in the natural size, place it in the kit on the front of camera and button it in. Attached to the centre 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 four inches — draw back the centre 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 centre frame. To enlarge with the same lens to eight times the size of the original, the centre of the lens must be four and one- James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia. 63 half inches from the negative, and the ground glass be thirty-six inches from the centre of the lens. To reduce in the same proportion, reverse and have thirty-six inches from the centre of the lens to the negative, and from the centre of lens to ground glass four and one- half inches.

ROLL HOLDERS. fr*HE roll holder consists of a light-proof box with a dark slide, X arranged to hold a spool, upon which is wound a belt oi negative film long enough to suffice for 24 to 48 full-plate ex- posures. It is similar in purpose to the dry-plate holders, and can be fitted to any camera in the same manner as they. A recorder working by sound (in some of the holders by sight also) tells when a full length of paper has been uncoiled and drawn tightly over the fiat surface, which serves to keep the neg. film in the same plane as the face of the ground glass. After exposure, the key Which moves the reel is turned again until the sounder indicates that a fresh length is in place, when it, too, may be exposed. The film which has not been used and that which has already been exposed are both kept in darkness during the exposure of the plate. When all the band, or as much of it as desired, has been exposed, all or that part is taken from the reel and cut into separate lengths at the marks left by the recorder. These lengths, which contain separate pictures, are developed just as an ordinary gelatine plate. Of course, all operations excepting the exposure must be conducted in a room lighted by ruby light. After washing, the negative is soaked in a solution as follows : Price. NO.

DRY-PLATES, which are now universally used by out-door workers and largely in galleries, are negative glass upon which a very sensitive film (generally a gelatine emulsion) has been evenly applied. They will keep in dry, dark places at ordinary temperatures an unlimited time. They are put up and kept in light-tight paper boxes, and must be opened, developed, and fixed only in ruby light. They are far more sensitive to weak light than wet or collodion plates, and for this reason all cameras, dark rooms, plate holders, etc., in which they are used must be absolutely light- proof. There are many kinds in commercial use, all of which have their special advantages, and most of which will do any work which may be expected of them. Some operators prefer one brand and some another. Any of the following will be found satisfactory : CRAMER, g SEED, FORBES, CARBUTT'S, STANLEY. Any of the above brands we offer at the following : No. 3>{x \% inches, per dozen, 4X5 p-825.

IN the ordinary dry-plate, as well as the wet collodion plate, objects having either a red, yellow, or green tint are reproduced as though they were black, excepting only the small amount of white light reflected from their surfaces. Plates which should repro- duce the relative amount of light reflected from a many-colored surface, even though they gave the result without tint, have been long sought for by artists. In order to supply this demand, we have sought both the home and foreign market carefully, and have chosen the plate which has given the most perfect results— the Carbutt Orthochromatic. They do not reproduce colors, but they yield pictures which have the same gradations of light and shade, irrespective of tint, as the object itself shows to the eye. In copying paintings, in all the details of landscapes in which color forms a prominent feature, and, in fact, in all work where the object has distinct colors, they will be found to give results very superior to the ordinary photographic plate. On account of their sensitiveness to the red and yellow rays they must be developed in covered trays, and the dark room lighted with only a faint light, deeply shaded by ruby glass. They may thus be examined from time to time during development by lifting the lid from the tray.

They are de- veloped, fixed, and washed exactly like glass, with the advantage that they weigh less than one-tenth as much as glass plates. They are extremely thin and may be printed from either side, thus avoiding the necessity of stripping to reverse the image. They are coated with rapid, medium, or slew landscape emulsions, and can be used in any plate-holder. No. p-874. p-875. p-876. p-877. p-878. p-879. p-88o._ p-881. P-882. p-883. p-884.

The instantaneous Argentic Dry-Plate, however, is made especially for positive or ferrotype pictures. They enable the operator to avoid all the pin holes, stains, etc., of the ordinary silver bath work, and being always ready for use and very brilliant in result, are a great boon. An exposure in the gallery of from one to three seconds is sufficient. About two minutes are needed for development, and from three to five for fixing, washing, drying, and varnishing. Thus the pictures may be ready for delivery in ten minutes after the exposure. For out-door work the Argentic plates work well, with an instantaneous drop exposure, rendering them invaluable for picnic groups and other similar work. For developing it is better to use the stock developer furnished with the plates, as by its use greater rapidity, purer whites, and more brilliancy can be obtained than by any ordinary developer. It is put up in i2-oz. bottles. As the slightest veiling is an injury, care must be taken to stop the development as soon as the detail is out, to keep the plates free from any exposure to white light till fixed, and to fix by a cyanide solution.

After exposure, development, fixing, and washing the gelatine film is laid upon a prepared plate of glass and the paper and soluble gelatine removed by warm water. In the place of the paper a varnish of thick gelatine and glycerine is now spread over the film and dried. The whole is then stripped from the glass and is ready for printing. These films can be used as negatives in photo-mechanical printing, in place of glass stripping plates, and will be found excehent for general work. AMERICAN FILMS IN CUT SHEETS. No. Price. p-940.

IN making the Queen Blue Print Paper, we employ only our cele- brated Acme Helio paper, which has become such a universal favorite with draughtsmen for use in the blue print process. By our improved formulae and methods of working we have been able to secure the finest keeping qualities, while shortening the time necessary for printing. Whether this paper is used for the reproduc- tion of line drawings or for printing proofs from ordinary architectural or landscape negatives it gives rich deep blues and pure clear whites. When the negative is full of half tones these are finely reproduced by overprinting slightly, and performing the washing in tepid instead of cold water. It is put up in packages which can readily be refastened, light-proof, on taking out a sheet for present use. For every purpose of the " blue print " this will be found to give the best satisfaction, both to the amateur, the artist, or the professional photographer.

They are intended for use with any apparatus for enlargement, either by natural or artificial light. To use them the paper is drawn down from the spool like a cur- tain, and fastened in place by a hinged frame, which serves to register the picture. ■ After ex- posure, each length is cut off and a fresh one drawn down. If it is desired to use several widths of paper upon the easel, extra hold- ers, which are interchangeable, may be employed, a separate holder for each width. Cut sheets of the bromide paper may be exposed on these easels either by pinning them to the frame in the usual way or by using a film carrier, as all the easels can be supplied with kits for all sizes smaller than the main one. But the advantage of clean- liness and convenience are greatly in favor of the roll method. No - For Spools up to p-1615. Enlarging Easel with Spool Holder, 11 inches, p-1616. " " " " 16 p-1617.

The rear of it is to 1 ■ be fastened by keying into a hole of the prope- size in the win- dow shutter. A frame inclined 45 ° upward and covered with white muslin is secured just outside the window below the camera so as to give a good illumination. With this and one of the enlarging easels with spool holder for bro- mide paper one may make enlargements upon this paper from small negatives that will compare favorably with prints made direct from large negatives. • Any rectilinear lens that will cover a plate the size of the negative used may be employed. The smaller the stop the sharper the en- largement and the longer the exposure. The cameras are focused by a fine, smooth rack-and-pinion move- ment. No. Peice p-1650.

NONE GENUINE WITHOUT OUR TRADEMARK. REGISTERED • COMPOUNDED BY US FROM OUR OWN FORMUI,^ OF THE BEST MATERIALS. " The Queen Concentrated Developer," for dry plates, films, or paper negatives, in one solution, a portion of which is diluted before using ; is the simplest, surest, and best Developer for the beginning amateur. In 4 oz. bottles, 25 cents, or 8 oz. bottles, 40 cents. "The Queen Pyro and Soda Developer," for dry plates, films, or paper negatives, is put up in packages containing two 8 oz. bottles ; one of Pyrogalic Acid solution (No. 1), and the other of Carbonate of Soda solution (No. 2). To those who wish to manipulate in development we cannot recommend this Developer too highly, as we know in it they have an article far superior to any- thing yet offered. Price, per package, 50 cents. "The Queen Ferrous Oxalate Developer," for the develop- ing of bromide paper, paper negatives, American films, and trans- parency plates. It is sold in packages containing one quart of Oxa- late solution, 8 ounces Iron solution, and 2 ounces Bromide solution. For the purposes intended this Developer will be found all that can be desired. Price, per package, 75 cents. Developer "Tondeur." A Hydrochinon developer which we import. It is put up dry in a neat square box and weighs 4 oz., the chemicals are inclosed in tinfoil packages and should all be dis- solved in 40 oz. of water. This developer is very convenient for travelers. It is used the same as our regular Hydrochinon developer. Price, per package, $1.00. 114 James W. Queen & Co., Philadelphia. Hydrochinon Developer. We offer our concentrated Hydro- chinon Developer as one of the cheapest and most permanent de- velopers on the market. We find that it will admit of an extreme range of exposure, pro- ducing fine negatives in respect to color, density, and detail. It should be kept corked, and the old developer saved in bottles, which should be kept full. This may be used repeatedly, gradually showing a tendency to make negatives harder, which may be met by longer exposures. Dilute with an equal volume of water. Use fresh solution for in- stantaneous and flash-light negatives, and very old solution for ex- treme over-exposures. Price, 8-ounce bottle, 25 cents ; in bulk, per quart, 75 cents ; qt. bottle 10 cents. "The Queen Intensifying Solution," with this solution satis- factory printing negatives can often be made from those which to all appearance are total failures. Price, per 8-ounce bottle, 50 cents. " The Queen Negative Varnish," Negatives which are valued should always be varnished to prevent their being spoiled by scratch- ing or the staining of albumen-paper. The " Queen Varnish " will be found especially satisfactory for this purpose, as it makes a hard, clear coating over the sensitive film, which can be retouched on and which does not crack, peal, or soften while printing. Price, per 4- ounce bottle, 30 cents ; 8-ounce bottle, 50 cents. '* The Queen Ground Glass Substitute." Any one who has had the misfortune to break or lose his ground glass when away from home will readily see the value of a solution with which, out of a piece of clear glass (an old negative for instance, with the film care- fully cleaned off), a new ground glass can be made in a few moments. The solution may also be used with very fine effect for working in cloud effects in negatives. Price, per bottle, 50 cents. ' | " The Queen Toning and Fixing Solution " is put up in pack- ages containing two 4-ounce bottles. It is specially prepared for use with the " Queen Silvered Albumen Paper," on which it will give prints of any tone desired, and is equally good for artists, or ready sensatized gelatine papers. This Solution will be the cause of a large increase in the number of amateurs who do their own printing. Price, per package, 50 cents. James W.
