AMERICAN OPTICAL CO.’S HIGHEST GRADE PORTRAIT CAMERAS. The American Optical Co. ’s Portrait Cameras are manufactured from the best mahogany, French polished, They have India-rubber bellows, the V-shaped wooden guides, and, in sizes up to 8xio, are made with a focusing cam. Larger sizes, 11x14 and upwards, are furnished with our telescopic platform and have Lever Focusing Attachment, by which the most delicate focus can be adjusted with the utmost facility and ease. The attention of operators is especially called to the Double Swing-back on these fine Studio Cameras. When lenses of short focal length are used, the face is very often distorted, unless the operator tips his camera, and even then he is apt to get the face elongated or widened, unless he is very careful. Any operator who has been annoyed by being unable to reflect the image upon the ground glass without distortion, will see how com- pletely this arrangement overcomes the difficulty. Very often it is desirable to get a little more of the lower or upper part of the figure, or of one side more than the other in the picture than can be done with the old style camera, without moving the person or the camera. This can be done quickly by means of the Double Swing-back, which allows the operator to make any change, laterally or vertically, he desires, until the figure is properly delineated on the ground glass. 5 HIGHEST GRADE PORTRAIT CAMERAS — Cont.

THE AMERICAN OPTICAL CO.’S ROYAL CAMERAS. EXTRA QUALITY. This camera does precisely the same work as an Imperial Camera, and has all the latest improvements. It has a car- riage for the plate-holder, and the ground glass is where it is always ready to be brought into use. When the operator brings the plate-holder from the dark- room, he slides it into the car- riage instead of placing it on the floor or some other incon- venient place while he obtains the focus. After securing the desired focus, he merely slides the ground glass to one side, in place of removing it, and simultaneously brings the plate-holder into place.

(patented. ) Each Incased in a Canvas Bag, with Handle. (Back-Focus Pattern.) Wherein lies the merit and attractiveness of the Revolving-Back Camera, that photographers want to cast aside cameras now in use and procure one of this new pattern? Briefly stated, it enables the view-taker to secure either an upright or horizontal picture without changing the plate-holder after it has been slid into the carriage. No other camera can with such wondrous ease and celerity be changed from the vertical to the upright, or vice versa. The carriage is simply turned about in the circle and automatically fastened. By this latter provision the carriage may be secured at either quarter of the circle. Ordinarily, the slide will be drawn out of the holder to the right ; but in certain confined situations, the ability to withdraw the slide to the left enables the photographer to obtain a view which he could not get with the usual provision in a camera. The photog- rapher of experience is well aware of the difficulty, when taking an up- right picture with a large camera without the revolving back feature, of reaching up to draw up the slide at the top, and, what is more essential, of getting out the slide without fogging the plate in the holder. Grace and strength are combined in the Revolving- Back Camera, and its highly desirable features are gained without the sacifice of steadiness or any other essential principle in a good camera. 18 REVOLVING- BACK CAMERAS.

A new design of constructing these cameras m hemispherical form has been invented , a new movement of crossing the lens over the segments of the circle, and an automatic release for the shutter has also been constructed. Car- butt’s No. 27 films, or his orthochromatic films of the same sensitiveness are used by means of an ingeniously constructed flexible dark slide, which permits of the necessary curve to conform with the back of the camera. The cameras are solidly and serviceably made, elegant in finish, and in every way maintain the world wide reputation of the American Optical Company. The cuts shown herewith give an idea of the external appearance of the camera, and the dark slide for holding the film. The prices of these Cameras, including in each case a substantial 22 THE SCOVILL PANORAMIC CAMERA.— Cont. wooden box or trunk for holding the instrument, a suitable tripod, a pano- ramic printing frame, two holders, two developing baths, and the cele- brated Swift lens, are given below.

(patent applied for.) The Waterbury Holder may be adjusted to various sizes of plates quicker and easier than any other holder. No kits are required, and the plates used must be in the center ; in fact, they cannot be out of the center, and may be laid in the proper place m the dark. The Waterbury Holder requires no latches to secure the plate firmly in place. The mechanism is so simple that it cannot get out of order except by destroying the holder. The Waterbury Holder adjustments work with entire freedom and yet without vibration or side-play. The Waterbury Holders are so complete and pleasant to work with that every dark-room operator wants them. The Bonanza Holder was acknowleged to be the king of wet plate holders ; every candid man will admit that the Waterbury Holder is the best dry-plate holder for gallery use. All American Optical Company’s Portrait Cameras will be fitted with the Waterbury Holder, where so ordered, at the regular catalogue prices.

(patented.) This Holder, as is shown in the cut above, is a great improvement over any heretofore manufactured for photo-engraving purposes. Its principal points of superiority are, briefly: 27 THE SCOVILL=LEVY PHOTO=ENGR AVERS’ ADJUSTABLE SCREEN PLATE HOLDER.— Cont. (First) — The ease with which it is adjusted for different size plates and screens, by a simple sliding movement of the two inside frames to or from the center, and thus dispensing with the expensive and troublesome use of kit frames. (Second) — The convenience by which the screen plate is accurately adjusted to the sensitized plate by means of the metallic sliding adjusters. (Heretofore it has been necessary to do the adjusting by means of inserting different thicknesses of cardboard, paper, etc.) (Third) — Different thicknesses in the screen plates are allowed for by means of a spring which always holds the plate in accurate place no matter what its thickness may be. (Fourth) — A graduated scale on each screen adjuster makes it easy to always insure absolute accuracy in determining the distance of the screen plate from the wet plate. (Fifth) — The simplicity of construction and excellent workmanship of the entire holder, being made, as it is, in the factory of the famous American Optical Company. And, -altogether, it is an ingeniously designed and beautifully constructed Holder, which will be found of indispensable aid to the practical photo- grapher. These Holders are thicker than the ordinary plate holders, and if it is desired to use them on a camera the ground glass of which is focused for the ordinary plate holder, a new ground glass frame is necessary in order to adjust the focus. When ordering a holder to fit a camera in use, send the old holder or the old ground glass frame so that the new ones can be made to fit the camera. Also state the size of largest and smallest screen plate to be used in holder. It is made in various sizes.

(See page 30. KLAY’S MULTIPLYING PLATE HOLDER. In these days of American enterprise and push, a constant demand for “something new” is being felt by photographers in every city, and that demand has now, happily, been supplied by the invention of the Klay Mul- tiplying Plate Holder. It is a unique patented device for producing from i to 28 different pictures on a single plate, 4Xx6^ inches. For variety, novelty, and convenience, it excels all other devices for producing these small pictures. Any photographer who once sees the Holder and its work wants one immediately. The engraving shown herewith is a proof of the efficiency of the Holder. If desired, a pamphlet showing full-size cabinet half-tones will be sent on application. Will fit any 8 x 10 camera, or larger. Price of Holde ', $1-5.00 THE DAISY DRY= PLATE HOLDER. “This Holder is a Daisy.” The frequent repetition of this ex- clamation fixed the name by which this holder is designated. It has the great merit of being lighter and of occupying lesss space than any other substantial holder that has ever been devised. The Daisy Holder opens like a book when the dry plates are being put into or taken out of it, and is so arranged that light cannot penetrate through from one side to the other. There are no projecting screws on this holder. What supplies their place is simple and more effective. The slides have no catches, as they are unnecessary. When making Dry-Plate Holders of our patented designs to fit cameras not made by us we are obliged to add 25 per cent, to the list price, as such holders must be made singly, not in quantity. Even with the addition to the list, we cannot expect to get more than the cost. 3X x 4 x : 4^* 4/4 x 5 x 5 x 6)4 x 4)4 X 5 x 5 x 4/4 • 5 • 5X ■ 6)4 . 7 ■ 8 . 8X- 6X 7 8 , Daisy Double Dry=Plate Holder.

LIGHT-WEIGHT DOUBLE HOLDERS. Patented November 15, 1887, and January 24, 1888. Substantial, serviceable and accurate Double Holders cannot be made smaller or lighter than the Scovill Light-Weight Holders, and though so thin, kits may be used in them. The Light- Weight Holders yield a negative the full width of the plate, and, what is equally important, the plate may be placed in these holders or removed therefrom without touching the sensitive surface, and with- out danger of breaking it. (Observe the means shown in illustration for locking the slides. ) The Light-Weight Holders are made with solid frame so that they will not come apart, leak light, or warp. Every holder has the patent Registering Slides. If you want to secure accurate focusing, use the “ Light-Weight,” or any of the other Scovill Plate Holders.

PATENTED. These are the only Stands suited in workmanship and finish, also in size, to the large American Optical Co. ’s Portrait Cam- eras, with their great length of bel- lows and extension platform. Practi- cal portraitists can- not fail to admire the ease with which these stands can be adjusted to any de- sirable height or inclination, and the noiseless manner in which they may be moved from place to place, their elegant appearance and accurate con- struction. The proper elevation of the “Elite” stand is obtained by turning a wheel with handle, within reach of the operator, so that he may adjust the height or inclination of this camera without taking his head from under the focusing cloth. By means of the wheel at the rear end of the platform, the horizontal position of the platform may be inclined upward or downward to a limit of 15 degrees. In the No. 2 size the platform is fifty- two inches long and twenty-six inches wide, and its length may be increased to seventy inches by an attachment which slides out forward, making it quite long enough to support a large copying camera. The semi-circular cut-out, at the rear end of the platform, is a convenience to the operator, who is thus enabled to stand closely up to the ground glass, no matter how far the camera may have been pushed forward ; bending of the body is obviated, which is a ne- cessity with all the older stands. “ ELITE ” STUDIO STANDS.

Reasons why you should adopt it : First — Because you can lower the camera within 13 inches of the floor, this being lower than any other stand will admit of. Second — Because it is the only camera stand using rubber wheels as castors, there fore it is perfectly noiseless. Third — By the use of its coiled springs and a key you can make it counterbalance any weight of camera from 8x10 to 11x14 inclusive. Weight of Stand, packed ready for shipment, 95 lbs.

Nothing more compact, certainly nothing as graceful in appearance and light in weight as the new tripod for out-door photography, just produced by the American Optical Com- pany, has yet made its appearance. Because so readily adjusted to the utmost irregularity of the earth’s surface, it was decided to call it the “Adjustable Tripod.” Lady amateurs prefer it to any other pattern on account of its lightness and beauty. The top is covered with billiard-cloth to prevent marring the fine polish on our cameras, and the clamping- screws are not detachable. Scovill Adjustable Tripod.

It can be set up, ready for use, quicker than any other, and with less trouble. By turning the brass buttons shown in the accompanying illustration, the legs may “ in a twink- ling ” be extended to the desired length and fastened. When this tripod is placed on uneven ground, the camera it supports may be brought to the proper level by simply adjusting the length of the tripod legs. Another commendable feature of the Scovill Extension Tripod is, that it has no detachable parts to be misplaced or lost. Combining as it does firmness, strength, and lightness, this tripod must at once find favor with the pro- fessional view taker, who very often wastes valuable time, or loses oppor- tune moments in placing the tripod legs and changing their position to include just what is wanted in a picture, and to level the camera.

For portraits, groups, instantaneous photography, landscapes, architecture, interiors, and enlargements. The lenses of this series are universal instruments in the full sense of the word. At full aperture, they admit of instantaneous photographs em- bracing an angle of 70° being taken, even on dull days. By the use of small stops the photograph may be made to include an angle of 90°. The Double Anastigmats of Series III. satisfy, therefore, the highest require- and are eminently adapted for allround purposes, in and out of doors. As the image is perfectly .sharp, even with large apertures, the defini- tion, brilliancy, and depth of every point of the field is absolutely uniform. Hence perfectly sharp wide-angle instantaneous photographs may be taken.

RAPID COPYING DENS, for full size reproductions, enlargements, large groups, landscapes, in stantaneous photography, and interiors. Series IV. of the Double Anastigmatic Lenses has been specially computed for copying in full size. It is, for this purpose, made to cover a plate of a diameter which is double the focal length of the lens without any distortion and without astigmatic aberrations and with perfectly uni- form sharpness up to the extreme edge. This excellent lens may also be used for photographing distant objects; for, in this case, the curvature of the image is barely appreciable and is counterbalanced by the depth of the focus and the sharpness of the image, which is free from astigmatic aberrations. The siiarp image subtends an angle of 75 0 with the largest stop, hence instantaneous wide angle pho- tograph s, groups , la?idscapes and architectures may be taken with these lenses.

ORTHOSTIGMATIC LENSES. The Orthostigmatic Lenses described in the following pages represent the most recent and perfect type of photographic lenses made by us. Ow- ing to their symmetrical construction they resemble the Aplanatic lenses, but they differ so widely from the latter as regards their mathematical formula, composition, and optical properties, that we have treated them as a group distinct from the Antiplanatic and Aplanatic Lenses, and we pro- pose to describe them as Orthostigmatic Lenses. These new lenses possess the following two principal features : Though very rapid, they nevertheless cover sharply at full aperture plate areas which hitherto could not be covered by lenses of similar rapidity, even if stopped down. On the other hand, the Orthostigmatic lenses possess, with small stops, a covering power which formerly could only be realized by slow Wide-angle Aplanatic Lenses. By reasons of these properties, coupled with great rapidity and perfect definition, these Orthostigmatic Lenses constitute veritable “Universal Lenses,” and as such are available for all the purposes of photography in- doors and out-doors, thereby dispensing with the necessity of employing several lenses. The following may be enumerated as the principal uses of the Ortho- stigmatic Lenses: 1. Their great rapidity renders them equally well adapted for portraits and groups in the studio and for shortest instantaneous exposures out-doors, even in dull weather. 2. Owing to their wide angular subtense, these lenses may be used for all manner of landscape, architectural, and interior photography. 3. Their superior definition and flatness of field, as the result of com, prehensive optical correction, renders the Orthostigmatic Lenses, when suitably stopped down, well adapted for enlargements as well as copying. The Orthostigmatic Lenses have a double advantage over the Wide-angle Aplanats hitherto used for copying, inasmuch as, by their increased rapidity, the exposure becomes considerably short- ened, and also as owing to their wider angular subtense lenses of much shorter focus can be used, which, beside being proportionately cheaper, require a shorter camera extension and work at closer ranges. 46 STEINHEIL LENSES.— Com. ORTHOSTIGMATIC LENSES, F : 6.8. This lens is a universal lens and is adapted for nearly all ex- isting purposes.

In the following pages will be found the old reliable lenses which many of our customers will continue to use on account of the excellent results obtained in the past. The prices have been materially reduced, which should make them still more popular. These Lenses are divided into six Series , presented in the order of their respective rapidities. Each Series begins with No. 1 for the smallest size and continues upwards. To avoid errors it is therefore necessary, in ordering, to quote both the No. of the Series and No. of the Lens in the present Catalogue. All our lenses are rectilinear, and are strictly corrected for spherical errors and chemical focus. They are free from disturbing reflections, and strongly illuminated ob- jects can be taken with them without producing flare or light spots. They are, moreover, constructed so as to give the greatest possible equality of definition over the whole picture. In focusing with these lenses always use largest stop and focus on object of chief interest. Then without changing focus insert proper diaphragm to secure depth in foreground ana background. 48 STEINHEIL LENSES.— Cont. The scientific basis of our establishment and the precise methods em- ployed, both in the manufacture of our astronomical and photographic ap- paratus, enable us to produce lenses of such uniform accuracy that the means of most rigorous testing at our command fail to reveal any differ- ences in the instruments we send out. We make it a special point never to supply a lens which is capable of improvement at our hands. According to the principle involved in their construction our lenses are divided into two classes, viz. : Antiplanetic and Aplanatic. ANTIPLANETIC LENSES. Patented in the United States and Europe, Briefly stated, these lenses, which are the result of a series of calcula- tions extending through several years, are composed of two non-symmetri- cal combinations, each of as great but opposite faults as possible, which correct each other. One combination has a shorter focus than the objective as a whole, and the other has a negative focus. The combinations are placed closely together. By the peculiar construction, as described above, differing widely from the usual forms, it has been possible to correct, to a considerable extent, the hitherto greatest defect in photographic objectives, viz. : “Astigmatism” and the consequent rapid decrease of definition from the center to the margin of the picture. The result is greater sharpness and depth distributed more equally over a larger and strictly even picture before any decrease in definition is preceptible. Illumination too is more evenly distributed, in consequence of the lenses being proportionately nearer together. These properties allow the lenses to be worked with full aperture, or large stops, and give them great rapidity of action. The perfectly correct delineation produced by the Antiplanets renders them particularly suitable for enlargements as well as for dissolving view apparatus. If small and sharp originals are taken and subsequently enlarged, depths are obtained which would be unattainable in larger pictures taken direct with same amount of light. For this purpose, which will probably play an important part in photography, the Antiplanets are specially suit- able. In making enlargements the front lens of the Antiplanet should always be turned towards the enlarged picture and the back lens towards the object to be enlarged. This construction is designed for strictly even and correctly delineated pictures and all tilting of the camera should be decidedly avoided and a movable lens board used instead. The Antiplanets are made in two Series: the Portrait Antiplanets (Series I.) and the Group Antiplanets (Series II.), the latter being, how- ever, also excellent dry-plate portrait lenses. 49 STEINHEIL LENSES Cont. APLANATIC LENSES. These lenses consist of the original and now well known symmetrical and rectilinear combinations, invented by Steinheil in 1868, but not patented. They are made in four Series (III. to VI. in this catalogue), each of which is specially designed for a certain class of work. Their capabilities and object are fully explained in the following pages. The lenses of Series V., also of Series III,, No. 1, Series IV., Nos. 1 and 2, have rotary diaphragms. All the other lenses are furnished with Waterhouse diaphragms in morocco case. SERIES I. PATENT ANTIPLANETIC PORTRAIT LENS. The rapidity is the same as in the usual Portrait Objectives, but there is more equality in the distribution of sharpness and illumination over the pic- ture and greater depth.

Nos. 5 to io inclusive of this Series are now furnished to order with an attachment allowing the distance between front and back combinations to | be adjusted either for direct negatives or for copying from flat surfaces, thus practically giving the operator two lenses in one. For direct pictures approach the two combinations as near as the mounting will allow and for copying separate them in the same manner, whereby the lens loses in depth and gains correspondingly in flatness of field.

This can only be accomplished by using objec- tives of different foci by which you can reduce or enlarge the image at will. For this work we have arranged a Set of four Single Aplanats, fitting in the same flange, aperture 1 in., covering from 5 x 8 to 20 x 24 in., according to focal length of the combination and size of the stop used.

Special quotations for larger sizes. Especial attention is called to the marked reduction of the prices of this Series of Lenses, which now places them among the moderate priced lenses , and within the reach of all who , 071 account of the price, hereto- fore have used lenses not specially adapted for this style of work. As a result of our experience we beg to point out particularly the necessity of avoiding the slightest vibration during exposure, when it is 'desired to obtain the extremest sharpness of picture which these lenses are capable of producing. It is also advisable not to use too small a diaphragm as the diffraction caused thereby tends to veil the picture. For obtaining inverted negatives, without stripping the film, we have designed the Prisms of Series VII. which can be fitted to the above or any other lenses. SERIES VII. PRISMS. These Prisms are made of one solid homogeneous mass of glass, with silvered hypothenuse. They are centered in their mountings and adjust- able to our lenses simply by unscrewing the hood of the lens and screwing the Prism in its place. With every Prism is fur- nished a rotary flange with set screw, allowing the Prism o be turned and fixed at any angle to the horizon. Designed for making In- verted Negatives without striping the film. Also for special and scientific work. No. To work with Lenses as follows • Price. I Series III. No. 2, Series IV. No. 3, Series IV.

The unprecedented success which has every- where resulted from the employment of the Water- bury Lenses, for 4x5 and 5x8 plates respectively, induced the Scovill & Adams Co. to extend the series of this favorite ob- jective. The popular C Waterbury Lens gave an opportunity for pro- ducing 8x10 and even 10x12 photographs with the sharpness, detail and brilliancy of the smaller sizes, but after its advent there was still a gap be- tween the 5x8 and 8 x 10 sizes. The desire is to see the Waterbury series complete has led to the production of the BB Waterbury Lens, which covers 6^ x 8)4 (the ever popular 4-4 size) to the extreme edges. In future, re- volving diaphragms will be supplied with all the Waterbury Lenses. In them are cut (with mathematical accuracy) openings in value T ^, /s> / ff > respectively. 56 WATERBURY LENSES.— Cont. The Waterbury Lenses are composed of a bi-convex crown glass lens cemented to another lens of the plano-convex form, made of the best selected flint glass. Be sure that the convex side of the lens is toward the focusing screen. Owing to the great advances in the sensitiveness of emulsion plates, the Waterbury Lenses are now commonly used for groups and for instan- taneous views, with the Scovill Safety Shutters, described on another page. No better testimony can be given to the excellence and reliability of these objectives, and the mathematical accuracy with which they are made, than that deduced from the recent test made of 392 lenses of the C series, in which large number only two lenses differed at all in focal length or luminous power from the others.

Will H. Leigh, Inventor. The Principle on which the Automatic Washer is constructed provides for a constant and complete change of water with an upward and circular motion from being forced through the small holes, and an automatic rock- ing of the tank gives the entire body of water exactly the same motion that separates the prints in the ordinary tray by rocking. With this apparatus prints never settle to the bottom of the tank, but float in the water and move gently from side to side. The face of each print is in this way presented to the moving water and imperfect washing is an impossibility. Prints require no watching nor handling with this washer, tnus saving its cost in labor alone. They are furnished in three sizes, and made and finished for service and wear.

We take pleasure in calling your attention to the Egyption Chemical Colors, prepared expressly for coloring photographs, either on plain or albumenized paper. These Colors are something new and far superior to anything of the kind heretofore used by photographers and others for the above purpose. The art of using them is so simple that the most inexperienced person can color photographs with entire satisfaction. Photographers who have tested these Colors say that the Blue, Brown, Rose and Flesh Colors are indis- pensable and worth the price of the whole set. Each bottle is labeled with full instructions for their use and how to obtain good effects. Burnishing the photograph after it is colored does not in the least disturb the colors, but softens down and improves them. A box of these Colors by careful usage ought to color three thousand photographs. These Colors are put up in polished wooden boxes labeled ‘ ‘ Egyptian Chemical Colors.” Box No. 3, Egyptian Chemical Colors, $1.50. Box No. 2, contains 9 half oz. bottles of the following Colors: Lemon, Yellow, Dark Emerald Green, Orange or Gold Color, Blue, Dark Brown, Rose, Violet, and Flesh. Price, $2.00. Box No. 1 contains fourteen 1 oz. bottles of the following Colors: Dark Emerald Green, Orange or Gold Color, Blue, Dark Brown, Rose, Violet, Flesh, Lemon Yellow, Magenta, Salmon, Vermilion, Terra Cotta, Maroon Brown, Transparent Black, including a 4 oz. bottle of the Egyptian Trans- parent Compound. Price, $6.00. Separate bottles of Colors and Compound can be obtained. The Egyptian Transparent Compound.

The most perfect and complete studio appliance in existence. It is a marvel in mechanical form ; of simplest construction, yet permitting the greatest degree of convertibility. It may be contracted within the smallest space, or extended to the most ample dimensions, to suit any conceivable position of the subject, all of which changes are easily and quickly effected. 64 THE WHITE “NEW STYLE” CHAIR.— Cont. A FEW POSITIONS. The above cuts show the practical workings of some of the attach- ments. The combinations possible are almost infinite in number. No studio can properly be said to be “equipped” without the White Posing Chair.

This Posing Support has the applied principle of the improved combination slide- rod, ball and socket joints. It is adapted to the smallest or tallest person, and for all adjustments or positions. It is in design and finish, a refined and elegant piece of mechanism, and in every way commends it- self to the “up to date” photographer. It is a suitable aid and accompaniment to the highest artistic portraiture of the present age. The ear-clips of the support have swiveling wrist movement as well as lateral or spread adjustment combined at one fast- ening, affording facility for either horizontal or vertical positions of the carrying rod, placing the parts to conform to the pose without regard to instrument itself, or the liability of portions thereof appearing in view. A detachable back rest is provided which has all desirable facilities of easy and quick adjustment. The adjusting joints are formed in the most perfect manner, especially adapted for giving accuracy and uniformity of move- ment, and the sliding rods are of steel of accurate gauge, and are plated with nickel. The stand is nicely japanned with blue and gold line ornamentation. “I have three in my galleries.” Chickering. ‘It is certainly the best in existence. I sold my other head rest for old iron.” Steffens. Ordering another says, “Posing Sup- port at hand, am well pleased with it. It’s perfect.” It is impossible in a brief description, and without the object itself, to give more than a suggestion of the almost marvelous celerity of movement, smooth- ness of action and ready adaptation to position, which this beautiful instrument affords, having, as it does, under complete control, all points within a portion of space from the floor to a height of eight feet, and within a diameter of six feet. Adjustment for taking up wear, or to give proper degree of holding power, can be made instantly with the fingers, without the use of a wrench or tool. Recent improvements in details have enhanced the superiority of this appliance. Price of Posing Support No. i, Complete, boxed $20 00 66 WHITES POSING SUPPORT STYLE No. 2.

Price of Style No. 2, boxed $14 00 67 WHITE’S PHOTOGRAPHIC CHAIR HEAD Hundreds of these Head Rests have been sold for general use, exclusive of those sold with the posing chair. The dotted lines indicate somewhat its great range of movement — from side to side, 40 inches, up and down, 24 inches — all controlled instantly by one lever or point of fastening. “Your Chair Rest is used to the tune of 100 a day and is appre- ciated by E. C. Dana, New York.” This Photographic Chair Head Rest is essentially the same as that used on the Otis C. White Posing Chair. The appliance, as here shown, is for attachment to any studio chair or settee, by means of the plate, into which the supporting rod slides, as shown by cut ; it has the ear clips with the wrist movement. The ball and socket adjustment gives complete universality of adjustment, ample to accommodate any position of the subject, for a child or the tallest person, the movement being under control from the sectional ball mechanism. The ear clips have swiveling wrist movement as well as lateral or spread adjustment, same as with the posing supports. For delicacy of adjustment, freedom of action and range of movement, it attains a perfection beyond rivalry. By using extra brackets the rest is made available for use interchange- ably on different chairs or settees. By loosening a thumb-nut, the change is quickly made. This Chair Head Rest is graceful and light, and is amply strong for all service. It is made of best malleable iron, with steel rods, polished and nickel plated throughout, except the bracket, which is japanned. REST / 68 WHITE'S PHOTOGRAPHIC CHAIR HEAD REST.— Cont.

It is provided with facilities for comfort- ably maintaining the child in pose and permitting the long skirts to fall naturally in graceful lines, without showing any of the supporting means, a feat difficult to accomplish with the usual furni- ture of the studio. The Child’s Chair has all needed adjustments for contraction and enlargement to accommodate infants, from the smallest to those of three years of age. The head rest has the adjustable extension movement in slide-rod , ball: and socket joints , and the waist clasps the same as in the baby- holder with the posing chair. The seat is of metal in elegant design ; the back-plate of wood, and the head-rest upholstered.

These Head Screens and Side Shades are constructed on a new and improved system, the principles being similar in all styles, both for the Head Screens and Side Shades. The Shades are of ecru scrim cloth, hemmed on their outer edge and mounted on an expansible frame in connection with a metal carrying rod and standard, held by a base of original design made expressly for the purpose, which will not tip with the weight of the screens at position of greatest extension. The screen rod and standard are connected by the slide -rod sectional ball and socket joint, that permits adjust- ment in all directions and is locked by a single fastening. The cloth sup- porting frames are of fine hard drawn steel rods, especially made for the purpose, and plated to prevent rusting in contact with the cloth. Sectional Ball and Slide-Rod Joint.

This style provides for adjustment of the screen from a height of 8 feet to the floor, to any position within a circle of 8 feet, and without other means of adjustment than is instantly afforded by the cam lever (see letter x) the latter being provided with a nut to take up any wear occasioned by use. like all the other joints. None of the parts have back-lash or loose and shaky joints. While the side shade is used conjointly with the head screen, it is evident that the desired effect is best accomplished by this method of separate adjustment, as the placing of one shade does not put the other out of position. The side shade is independent of the head screen in its movements, although it is supported on the same base. The large demand and rapidly increasing sales for these side shades, fully confirm the claims of superiority advanced for the use of side shades with head screens. Prices. Securely Boxed.

STYLE No. 2. This style head screen is the same as previously advertised, and of which large numbers have been sold. It has a circular base with the elevat- ing rod telescoping into the base standard without the off-set or projecting sectional ball joint. The adjustment of the elevating rod is made by a saddle and thumb-screw at the top of the base standard. In all other re- spects it is like No. i, having the same slide-rod ball and socket joint with binding lever, as shown in detail in this cut.

By slightly releasing the clamping joint, the shade rod is free to slide, or be turned to place the shade at any angle around the sup- porting standard. A greater release of the clamping joint permits adjustment of the screens up or down on the standard. The foot base is of iron and ornamental.

The Howard Album, with interchangeable cards, is the latest novelty- in the way of an album for mounting photographs. In handsomely em- bossed covers are bound twenty-five of Collins’ cards, which are chemically pure from all matter that would injure the photographs. In the mode of binding, and their interchangeable feature, lies the difference between this and other albums. To each card are attached two small metallic binding loops, so fastened that they act like hinges ; through the projection of these loops a binding cord passes, which fastens at the back with a tie ; thus each card is bound in the cover independently, and may be taken out and returned or re- placed with ease. This method of making an album affords the amateur the best means of preserving the results of his labor, because each picture may be finished before putting the card in the album. The arrangement of the pictures may also be altered at will — if a single card is spoiled, the whole album is not ruined. If a picture is taken out, it can be quickly and readily done without injury to the volume. 75 HOWARD ALBUMS.— Cont. Full Cloth, Embossed, Gold Label, with A. M. Collins Mfg. Co.’s No. i Cards.

The in- terchangeable feature is superior to all others. It contains twenty-four Collins’ Best Cards, which are chemically pure and free from all matter that would injure a photograph. Each leaf is distinctly independent, and may be taken out and returned or replaced with the utmost ease without having to disturb any other leaf or part of the album. The arrangement of the picture may be altered when desired, and if a single leaf is spoiled the whole album is not ruined. Directions for Removing the Leaves and Mounting Photographs. Read carefully the following : The leaves of the Eclipse Album are fastened by means of a small rod or “pintle,” as will be seen by the above cut. At the back of the album, in 77 THE ECLIPSE ALBUMS — Cont. the inside, is a slot or cut expressly made, by means of which you can readily grip and remove the pintle. The pintle thus removed will give you an instrument with which you can remove the others. A pin or hair- pin also answers admirably. Place the fiat or upper end against the flat end of the leaf, and press it out, thereby removing both the leaf and the pintle. Each picture may then be finished and mounted on the card and burnished before putting the card in the Album. Photographs should under no circumstances be mounted with the or- dinary photographer’s paste or the many scented “paste preparations” sold by dealers generally. We confidently recommend “Non-Cockle” as being the best prepara- tion manufactured for mounting purposes. In mounting the pictures it is very important to have them dry thoroughly between blotting paper, under pressure. The Eclipse Album, as a sample book, especially for mounting samples of fine stationery, satins, delicate laces, etc. , is pronounced by the best judges as having no equal.

A. RUBY LIGHT LANTERN. Used when putting Dry Plates into the Holders, and also when developing them. Price each, $o 60 THE NEW PEERLESS LANTERN NO. 3. Scovill’s Peerless Dark-room Lantern has long been a favoiite with photographers, both profes- sional and amateur. Many thous- ands have been sold during the years it has been upon the market. Improvements of a minor nature have been made in it from time to time by the manufacturers, but it has for the most part continued to sell substantially as it first appeared. Recently, however, the manufacturers have given the lantern an entire overhauling. The result is a very much improved light and a more com- pact article. The New Peerless Dark-room Lantern is considerably smaller than the original, though giving a greater illumination. The reflect- ing screen in front, to throw the light upon the developing dish, works with more convenience, not requiring the brass chain which the old lantern had. It also has a reflector inside, at the back of the lantern, to concentrate and better control the light. Two glasses — an orange and a ruby — enclose the lantern on four sides instead of one as heretofore, which makes the light not only a safer one for dark- room purposes, but also is pleas- anter for the eye of the operator. The wick may be manipulated from the outside of the lantern, thus obviating the necessity of removing the lantern from the dark-room each time the wick needs adjustment. (The original lantern was so constructed that the lamp proper had to be removed before the wick could be adjusted. ) Price, No. 3 $2 50 92 HAMMER PLATES Next to the camera and lens, the plates used are of the greatest im- portance in the production of good results.

In response to repeated and urgent solicitations we were in- duced to put upon the market “Waterbury Trays,” con- structed upon more scientific principles than any other wooden tray in the market. The following description and illustration is taken from The Photographic Times: “These trays are far su- perior in design and finish to any previously offered. Canvas is not required for the seams, as they are virtually seamless. The bottom rests on cross-strips — a great improvement, for steadiness, over knobs at the comers, which were liable to be broken off. The Waterbury Trays do not warp or crack.” Price List.

I 50 102 THE BRILLIANT DEVELOPER This new developer surpasses all others in covering power and cheap- ness; it keeps for weeks after use, and a surprising number of plates can be developed in the same solution before it is exhausted. With equal ex- posures and equal time of development it will give as an average three times more covering than any other developer. It is a liquid developer and ready for use after being mixed with an equal quantity of a io per cent, solution of carbonate of Potash. It is very clean and discolors very little, even when kept some time after use. After extensive tests, comparing it with Pyro, Ferro Oxalate, Hydro- chinone, Metol Eikonogen, Amidol, etc., etc., it has been ascertained, that in using the Brilliant Developer as an average only one third of the time of exposure is necessary, compared with the exposure required when de- veloping with the other developers, which is an enormous advantage, especially during dull weather. Thus much money, time, and work can be saved on plates, which otherwise would have been lost by under exposure or the object having moved. The price is very moderate and lower than of most developers at present in use, as the same solution can be used over and over again by adding from time to time some fresh Brilliant Developer. The success this new developer is having in Europe is simply marvel- lous, especially with professional photographers, who are, as a rule, so reluctant to try new materials. It has obtained a prize at the Berlin Ex- hibition for Photography , and scores of testimonials are arriving every week. Formula. Dissolve i oz. of Pure Carbonate of Potash in io ozs. of water. Mix i oz. of Brilliant Developer with i oz. of the above Potash solution. If very soft negatives are required the proportion of Potash solution may be increased. For Development of Bromide Paper, for which the Brilliant Developer is also particularly suitable the following proportions are recommended: yi oz. of Brilliant Developer. %. “ Potash Solution, i “ Water. This will develop a great number of Prints. For softer results more water must be added. Price. Quart Bottles $i 40 16 oz. “ 75 8 “ “ 50 103 THE SCOVILL DOUBLE LEVEL. The Scovill Double Level will be appreciated by landscape and tourist photographers.

Our copper rolling mills are especially fitted up for making copper and zinc plates for photo-engraving. It is very essential that copper and zinc, whether in strips or plates, should be rolled perfectly even for photo-en- graving, and that the surface should be perfectly free from any imperfec- tion, whether visible or invisible to the naked eye, and our copper and zinc should invariably be used for this purpose.

This allows the heat to penetrate more quickly, and thus heat the plate very rapidly. At the comers of this frame are eyelets. From these, wires can be runrto the ceiling, and by merely placing the plate on the frame a move- ment is imparted which will cause the heat to be much more evenly dis- tributed than if the plate were moved by hand, while at the same time the operator is relieved of the weight.
