ASB In this list the prices of many Cameras, Lenses, Tripods, etc., are given separately, for those who desire to make up an equipment differing from those presented herein. When the price is given for camera, holder and carrying case, it includes neither lens nor tripod. Our list has been prepared with great care, and we have endeavored to be explicit enough to enable any one to select such articles as will make a harmonious equipment. The sizes given are the largest that each camera will admit of, but smaller plates can be used in each by means of our inside kits, for each of which we give the outside dimensions with size of plate that can be used in same. As our equipments are sold at a less price than the several parts could be bought for separately and combined, we suggest the purchase of such complete, wherever possible, as a matter of economy. Where lenses different from those accompanying the equipments are required, the price for making up such special outfit can readily be reached, as prices are given for the different parts that can be supplied separately. When prices for such parts are not given, it designates that such outfit is sold in one way only, viz., complete. As will be seen, a complete outfit for making pictures measuring 4x5 inches can be purchased for $19.00 as follows : No. i Equipment, described on page 2, $9 oo 4x5 Developing Outfit, described on page 95, .... 5 25 4x5 Printing Outfit, described on page 95 , . . . . 4 75 This will include everything necessary for making and developing one dozen negatives, and making and mounting two dozen prints from these negatives. The cost of making subsequent pictures would be trifling, as the de- veloping and printing outfits include trays, graduates, funnels, etc., that will last for years, and sufficient chemicals for making several dozen additional negatives and prints. A corresponding outfit for making 5x8 pictures would cost $22.50, as follows : No. 2 Equipment, described on page 2, $10 oo 5x8 Developing Outfit, described on page 95, . . . . 6 50 5x8 Printing Outfit, described on page 95, .... 6 oo Developing and printing outfits adapted to equipments of other sizes will be found on pages 85 and 86 of this catalogue. prices given in this catalogue are liable to fluctuation. When any article is reduced, the buyer will get the benefit without reference to the printed list. Read Carefully these Few Facts. Presumably the reader of the following pages knows something of the interesting art for which the articles enumerated in this catalogue are provided. If not, he can acquire a general idea of it from what follows, and we shall be pleased, on receipt of fifty cents, to mail to any address a book, in which all the details are given, entitled How to Make Photographs ; A Manual for Amateurs, by T. C. Roche, recently published by our house. It has been penned and edited by eminent theoretical and practical photographers, and with the purpose of stating in the most simple and concise language, everything necessary for any one to know who may be disposed to engage in photography as an amateur. It will be found equally serviceable to those who desire to practice the art as an aid in their business or profession, and all its statements may be im- plicitly relied on for accuracy and practicability. The introduction of the gelatino-bromide dry plate has so revolution- ized photography that but little preliminary knowledge of it is now essential ; in fact, it is astonishing what can be accomplished by totally inexperienced amateurs who may exercise a little taste and judgment. It is scarcely to be supposed that success should always attend one's first efforts, but rapid progress can generally be made by old or young, lady or gentleman, who may manifest the slightest disposition to excel. Unlike the old " wet " plate, the gelatino-bromide process has the ad- vantage of admitting a much wider latitude of exposure that is to say, the actual time which the sensitive plate may now be subjected to light, though still important, is far less so than by the old collodion process, and the subsequent operations are free from the former objections of complexity, uncertainty and stains. The apparatus and chemicals required are also few and inexpensive, and there is nothing which the veriest tyro in chemistry cannot readily master. Another obvious improvement is recognized in the exceeding lightness and portability of the equipments, and their greater adaptability to the requirements of the public. Unfortunately the increasing demand has led many persons to engage in the manufacture and sale of apparatus and materials that are quite inadequate for the attainment of satisfactory results. We therefore point with pride to the intrinsic excellence of every item in the following list the outcome of more than forty-eight years' diligent effort and experience in the preparation of photographic supplies. In selecting an outfit from those described in the following pages there are two axioms it will be well to bear in mind. They are : First. The larger the camera, the greater the bulk and weight. Second. While a small picture can be made with a large camera, a large picture cannot be made with a small camera. Remember, we do not make a single toy ; all our cameras are practical working instruments such as are in constant use by professional photog- raphers. All are fitted with our Patent Double Dry Plate Holders, which are by far the lightest, tightest and handiest holders made, and have done as much as any other one thing toward giving popularity to our equipments. The equipments are fitted with fine single achromatic lenses, which (with the exception of the 4x5) are provided with changea- ble diaphragms, so that the time of exposure may be varied to suit the subject. They are adapted for landscapes and out-of-door groups and in a good light require but a second's time (or even less) to make a picture. Amateurs who aim to excel, and with whom the cost is a secondary con- sideration, are invited to examine the more expensive double achromatic lenses described in the following pages. Those made by DALLMEYER especially can be depended on as being absolutely the best in market. With these the very finest results are possible. In buying do not forget that you are not going to make an experi- ment. Your success is assured if you follow the printed directions. Thousands have succeeded before you with only the ordinary amount of brains, and some with less than is allowed to mankind generally. So when you buy, buy as good an outfit as you can afford. With a cheap instrument you can do good work, but with the better grades you can do better work more easily. First decide what size you want, then get the best you can afford of that size. With these few hints and explanations we take pleasure in opening to your view and for your consideration the pages of this little book, with the further assurance that everything therein mentioned is guaran- teed to be exactly as described.

The Patent Bijou Camera. THIS LITTLE CAMERA is one of the neatest of its kind ever made. When folded, it measures 5x5x3^ inches, and can readily be put in an ordinary hand-grip or may even be carried in the overcoat pocket. It weighs only 14^ ounces, and the holders are correspondingly light and compact. It has a sliding front, hinged ground glass, and folding bed, which is provided with a novel arrangement for fixing it in position, enabling the operator to adjust it in a few seconds. It is made of highly polished mahogany, with flexible bellows ] and brass mountings, making a remark- ably elegant little instrument. As the plate is the same size as those used with magic lanterns, slides may be made from them by contact printing in an ordinary printing frame. By using bromide paper in connection with a Cooper enlarging lantern, the pictures may be made as large as desired. For tourists, to whom weight and bulk are objections, this camera is of especial value.

THESE CAMERAS are made in the best possible manner, and of first quality mahogany highly polished ; the metal work having the draw file finish, the same as is used on the finest mathematical instruments. They have single and double swing backs, cone bellows and folding beds ; are very light, compact and strong. Their peculiar construction admits of making the pictures either vertically or horizon- Catalogue for Amateurs. tally with equal ease, the change of position being effected very quickly. The rear part of the camera is separated from the bed by merely pushing it from left to right, the keyhole slots releasing the heads of the screws. The front end of the bellows being arranged so as to revolve in a light framework which runs on the two hollow upright brass rods, when the rear of the camera is separated from the bed, the entire bellows revolves at the same time with the rear. When this is turned on its side and re- placed on the screws the camera is reversed. The whole opera- tion of reversing a 5 x 8 camera Showing Method of Reversing Camera. requires but two seconds by the watch. They arc made with as long a bellows as possible, the 5x8 being about four inches longer than those of the ordinary kind. The ground glass is hinged to the camera. Several new features have been availed of in the construction of this camera, to wit : In all sizes except 4x5 the bed may be instantly ren- dered rigid, without the use of screws, by means of a brace of patent hooks that hold the two sections of the bed with great firmness. In the case of the 4x5 size, the bed is fastened with a sliding plate. The rabbet commonly found on the plate holder is dispensed with, and instead it is placed on the camera, thus saving the otherwise addi- tional weight rendered necessary for twelve such rabbets when made on Catalogue for Amateurs. the plate holders (two on each of the six usually carried), and the no in- considerable item of three-fourths of an inch in bulk. The plate holders are made of hard wood, with metal carriers for the plates, and fitted with all the later improvements. The Novelette occupies less space than any other view camera of the same capacity except our Fairy, and is packed in our telescopic brass bound Canvas Carrying Case. When packed, the camera should always be put in a vertical position. 4x5, including one Novelette double dry plate holder 4J x 6|, as above, 5 x 7 or 5 x 8, as above, .... 64 x 8^, as above, 8 x 10, 10x12, " 11x14, " With the 4x5 size the Zephyr plate holders are used.

WITH the exception of the regular Novelette, Fairy and Phantom Cameras, this is the lightest and most compact reversible Cam era extant. The body of the Camera is made of same shape as the holder, and is reversed more easily and quickly than any other in the market. It occupies only one-half the space necessary for other reversible Cameras for the same size plate, and is only two-thirds the weight. It is made with the back rigid and the front moving forward 01 Catalogue for Amateurs. back by rack and pinion movement for focusing, thus giving the operator access to the ground glass without interference from the bed of the Camera. It is of best quality mahogany, highly polished, has double rack and pinion the entire length of the bed, and when a lens of short focus is used the front section of the bed folds underneath, hooking to center section. It has rising front, single or double swing back, and our patent adjustable ground gl^ss, which is always just where it is wanted. The metal work has the straight line or draw file finish, same as used in the finest mathematical instruments. Each size admits the use of lenses of longest and shortest focus for the size plate to which the Camera is adapted. There are no loose pieces or sections, and in this respect also it differs from all other reversible Cameras of other makes, being complete in itself. It is fitted with the Eclipse double dry plate holder, which is included in price of Camera quoted below.

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

The bed being telescopic, renders it suitable for work with lenses of either the longest or shortest focus. When folded it is, as shown in cut, pro- vided with a carrying strap, and measures complete (for 5x8 negative) only 9 x 10 x 3^ ; other sizes in proportion. These cameras are all made 14 Catalogue for Amateurs. with reversible backs, which render them nearly square in shape and very convenient for carrying. The ground glass is attached to camera by means of our patent springs, and is therefore not liable to get in the way or become detached. The bellows has a capacity, in the 5x8 size, of extension to the length of 17 inches, and the whole camera, with ground glass and double holder, weighs only 4 pounds.

Anthony's "Normandie " Reversible Back Camera, ' I ^HIS is the lightest, most compact and easily adjustable, reversible JL back camera in the market. It is of highly polished mahogany, the metal work having the draw file finish, like that used on the finest mathematical instruments. It is provided with our patent adjustable spring actuated ground glass, always in position and never in the way. The front portion of the bed is provided with hinges, so as to drop or to fold under the camera when in use with wide angle lenses of short focus. It is made rigid by use of our patent clamp hooks, and is provided with Catalogue for Amateurs. double rack and pinion movement and front focus. The back of this camera is completely reversible, and the slides can be drawn from bottom as well as from top or either side. This is an additional safeguard against the admission of light into the holder. The Normandie is fitted with the Zephyr double dry plate holder up to 8 x 10 inclusive ; above that size, with the Eclipse holder. Where extra holders are required, either the Eclipse or Zephyr may be ordered. This camera can be had with either the single or double swing.

With Stereo Attachments, used Horizontally. The Fairy Camera. IT has long been our desire to place before the public a camera that would at once embrace these most necessary requirements porta- bility, compactness, and strength, combined with beauty and accuracy of working. Until the introduction of the camera herein described, the nearest approach to this has been the Novelette Camera, which for a time seemed to be everything that could be de- sired. But urgent calls for something still better were frequently made, and we there- fore devised the Fairy Camera, one of the most attractive and elegant pieces of apparatus of its kind ever offered. In pre- senting it, we invite attention to the following advantages it possesses over all others. Strength. It is put together as rigidly as wood and metal will admit of, and the result is a camera of great strength. Compactness. It occupies less space than any other view camera of the same capacity, except the Phantom and Novelette, and the plate holders are made of hardwood, with metal carriers for the plates, and fitted with all the later improvements. Portability. When closed for carrying, it occupies very little space and is packed in a neat sole leather carrying case, which is provided with a shoulder strap Without Stereo Attachments, used Vertically. Several new features have been availed of in the construction of this camera. First. The bed may be instantly rendered rigid, without the use of screws, by means of a brace of hooks that hold the two sections of the bed with great firmness. Second. The rabbet commonly found on the plate holder is dis- pensed with, and is placed on the camera instead, thus saving the Catalogue for Amateurs. additional weight and the no inconsiderable item of bulk, amounting to nearly an inch, where the customary six double holders are carried. Third. The camera is focused with a long, continuous metallic rack, cog wheel and pinion, the latter being firmly held in posi- tion by a binding screw. The ground glass springs backward in its frame, like that in the regular Novelette Camera, and is held tightly in position by metallic spring corners. When windy this is a decided advantage. The Fairy Camera is made in finely polished Circassian walnut, the metal work being nickel- plated, thus giving it a most Without Stereo Attachments. ele g ant appearance. At present it may be had in four sizes, as follows : Including one Double Dry Plate Holder. 4x5, without stereo attachments -$30.00 4iix 6joi " 40.00 5 x 8, " " " -- 42.00 5 x 8, with " 42.00 6J^x 8*^, " 45.00 S x 10, " " 50.00 Including Six Double Dry Plate Holders. 4 x 5, without stereo attachments $37.00 4 1 4 x 6x2' " 50.OO 5x8, " 54.00 5 x 8, with - 54.00 65-2X Si.<, " " " 62.00 8 x 10, " " " 72.00 Naturally those without stereoscopic attachments are still lighter and a trifle more compact than those with, and may be preferred by persons who desire to make single portraits or views only.

Anthony's Long Bellows Novelette Camera, For View, Portrait and Copying Work. THIS instrument is a most useful camera for view and portrait photography and enlargements combined. It consists of a regular 8xio Novelette Camera, made however with an extra long bellows and arranged with an extension to the bed which gives it a focal length of 32^ inches. As shown in the cut, the bellows is fitted with a movable support, which serves to hold it in position and prevent sagging when in use for enlargements. The extra bed is held firmly in position by means of dowels and our patent clamp hooks, and may be attached or detached almost instantly. This camera is furnished with carrying case, and its entire weight is only 7 pounds. Price, including one of our new style double Novelette holders and carrying case, $40.00. Catalogue for Amateurs. Climax Enlarging, Reducing and Copying Cameras. THE form of construction of this new camera is made apparent by the illustration here shown. The experienced copyist will not need any such simple directions for use as we append. An important feature in this camera, that is found in no other, is, that the center-board with lens, can be used in the end of the camera, converting it at once into an extra long copying camera. This will be found very advantageous in enlarging small pictures by one operation. Size, 4x5 $12.00 30-00 35-00 8x io LO X 12 48.

To copy a negative in the natural size, place it in the kit on the front of the camera and button it in. Attached to the center frame of the camera is a division upon which, on the side toward the camera front- a lens is mounted. Suppose this to be a quarter-plate portrait lens, the focal length of which we will suppose to be 4 inches : draw back the center frame and the lens twice the focal length of the lens (8 inches) ; slide the back frame with ground glass the same distance from the center frame. To enlarge with the same lens to eight times the size of the original, the center of the lens must be 4^ inches from the negative, and the ground glass be 36 inches from the center of the lens. To reduce in the same proportion, reverse, and have 36 inches from the center of the lens to the negative, and from the center of lens to ground glass 4*0 inches. These examples will furnish a key to the following table : 22 Catalogiie for Amateurs. TABLE FOR ENLARGEMENTS. {.Copied from the "British Journal Almanac" for 1882.] Focus OF LENS.

The use of the table will be seen from the following illustration : A photographer has a carte to enlarge to four times its size, and the lens he intends employing is of six inches equivalent focus. He must, therefore, look for 4 on the upper horizontal line, and for 6 in the first vertical column, and carry his eye to where these two join, which will be at 30 7)^. The greater of these is the distance the sensitive plate must be from the center of the lens, and the lesser, the distance of the picture to be copied. To reduce a picture any given number of times the same method must be followed, but in this case the greater number will represent the distance between the lens and the picture to be copied ; the lesser, that between the lens and the sensitive plate. This explanation will be sufficient for every case of enlargement or reduction. If the focus of the lens be 12 inches, as this number is not in the column of focal lengths, look out for 6 in this column and multiply by 2, and so on with any other numbers. Catalogue for Amateurs. Schmid's Patent Detective Camera. (PATENTED JAN. 2, 1883.) The Leather Covered Detective Camera. THIS CAMERA is focused for objects at various measured distances, and the points are marked upon the index shown in the cut at the side of the box, the pointer of the index serving to act upon gear work to bring the camera in adjustment for any given distance. After this the ground glass may be entirely dispensed with, as it is then only necessary to estimate the distance of the object to be photo- graphed and move the focusing lever to the mark corresponding to that distance, when the camera will obviously be in focus. The small lens in the upper left hand corner serves to throw the picture on a piece of ground glass on the top of the camera, thus show- ing the position of the image on the plate. When the picture appears in proper position on this ground glass, it is only necessary to touch the button on the right of the camera and the exposure of the plate is instantly made, its development being afterward accomplished in the ordinary manner. The slide is then replaced in the plate holder, which, being reversed, the shutter reset, and the other slide drawn out, everything is ready for the next shot.

THE above cut shows one of our latest Detective Cameras, which is kept in stock in one size only, 4x5, larger sizes being made to order. It is so arranged that its working parts are all on the left side of the box, and is so constructed that the shutter may be set, released, and its speed regulated, from the outside, without having to open the box at all. Lenses of varying focal length may be used and the diaphragms changed without removing the shutter. A removable rear compartment is also made for use with the camera, which is fitted to contain five double holders and which is adapted to take the place of the focusing cloth when the plate holders and rear partitions have been removed, an advantage not possessed by any other style of detective camera. This Camera may be carried and operated in our patent satchel, thus giving it the appearance of an ordinary hand bag. Instantaneous R. R. Hemis- Dallmeyer Landscape Lens, pherical Lens. R.R.

IN outward appearance, and to the ordinary observer, this latest modi- fication of the Detective Camera looks exactly like an alligator hand-satchel that is carried by a shoulder-strap at the side of the pedes- trian. Upon closer observation, one sees that it consists of an artfully- concealed detective camera, in which all the various movements to secure a picture are situated upon the under side. For use, the camera is held so that the base of the satchel rests against the body of the operator. By means of a brass pull at the side the shutter is set. A plate in the regular holder is placed in position at the back of the camera, and the slide is drawn ready for exposure. The re- lease of a short catch, exposes the front of the shutter ready for action, and by raising a small leather-covered lid the little camera obscura, called the finder, on the (now) upper side of the camera, shows the position that the object will occupy on the plate. The slightest touch upon a small brass button releases the shutter, and the exposure is made. Re- placing the slide in the plate holder, reversing the holder, and setting the shutter again, leaves the apparatus in readiness for another shot, when the plate holder slide is withdrawn as before. By releasing a spring bolt on the under side of the case, the camera proper can be removed from its cover, and a tripod screw serves to attach the camera to a tripod for ordinary use. This last form of the detective camera allows the operator to carry with him twelve plates in the interior of the apparatus, and so carefully 26 Catalogue for Amateurs. packed away that no light can strike them. It is also furnished with an ingenious attachment by which the speed of the shutter can be regulated to suit the speed of the object, moving with greater or less velocity ; while, by simply releasing a catch, time exposures can be made at the will of the operator. In fact the whole affair is an important achievement in ingenious, compact and light photographic apparatus. These satchel detective cameras have been frequently operated with success where the use of others less deceptive has been prevented. Camera showing the detachment of Satchel. For Plate 4x5 inche-.

The P. D. Q. Camera IS a detective which accomplishes the object for which it was made and bears out its name, the initials only of which, we have adopted as a distinguishing title. Photography Done Quickly with this camera is also done well, and with the least possible effort or loss of time, patience or temper. The box is adapted to the making of 4 x 5 pictures, either time- or instantaneous, which may be taken either vertically or horizontally, and is provided with a finder which may be used for either position. Three patent double holders are supplied with each camera, one being our regular Zephyr double holder for Dry Plates and the other two being our new patent double holders for Films, in which the popular Climax or other celluloid Cut Films may be used. These double film holders are the most compact and durable that have ever been devised, being only three-eighths of an inch thick. This camera is fitted with a fine combination instantaneous achro- matic landscape lens and a shutter of an entirely new design, which by its peculiar mechanism is always closed, except at the moment of exposure, the resetting being accomplished by a very simple but ingenious patented device, which requires only the movement of a lever to the right or left, as the case may be. The manipulation of the shutter is wholly from the outside of the box, and it may be made to work with greater or less rapidity as desired. The mechanism of the entire instrument is most simple and effective. A new and valuable feature is the rear compartment of the camera, the cover of which may be removed, when there will be found a ground glass which is also removable, and which renders the camera 28 Catalogue for Amateurs. perfectly suitable for ordinary portrait or landscape photqgraphy, where time exposures are required. A tripod screw and cap for lens, which also accompany the P. D. Q., complete its equipment for such work, and the entire camera is neatly covered in black grained leather.

A Magazine Detective Camera, capable of making 24 exposures without refilling the holders or opening the camera. AS shown by the cut, this camera has the appearance of a neat i6mo volume bound in black leather, and only upon the closest inspection would it be suspected that it was anything else. The size of the book is 2^ x 4^2 x 6^ and it may be carried in the hand or in a neat and tasty leather case, slung over the shoulder like a pair of field glasses. It may be operated without removal from the case and is so arranged, that no part of the camera need be opened till the whole or any portion of the 2Jj. plates are exposed. The lens attached to this camera is made expressly for it by one of the best opticians in Europe, and is achromatic and will be found to give correct perspective, with great sharpness. The camera is supplied with 2Jk plate holders for plates if6 inches square, which are carried in a magazine and which may be exposed in succes- sion and deposited in a second magazine in the order of their exposure, by simply pulling out and pushing back a metal rod. The shutter, which may be set for either time or instantaneous exposure, is worked by pulling a button, and the whole mechanism is simple and effective in the extreme.

Anthony's Magazine Camera IS an entirely new magazine camera, in which twelve or twenty-four exposures may be made without drawing a slide or inserting a plate holder, and twelve or twenty-four new plates or films may then be in- serted and exposed without going into a dark room. It is adapted to 4 x 5 size, either vertical or horizontal, and is so arranged that the plates or films stored in the camera are exposed one at a time, as desired, and then by the simple pressure of a spring, each plate, after exposure, is dropped into a reservoir at bottom of the camera, where it may remain until the whole are exposed or be removed earlier for development, as desired. The plates may be changed and the camera refilled in broad daylight, the process being simplicity itself. Accompanying the camera is a magazine which is filled in the dark room, and which holds, like the camera, either 12 plates or 24 films. When it is desired to refill the camera, this magazine is fitted on the back of camera in the same way that a ground glass is attached to an ordinary box, and by drawing two dark slides, one from the camera and the other from the magazine, the entire lot of fresh plates are deposited in position to be exposed in rotation ; the slide is then returned to back of camera and the empty magazine detached, after which it is secured at the bot- tom of the camera and slide drawn therefrom, when the exposed plates will drop into the magazine. The slides are now both replaced and the magazine, full of exposed plates, detached. The size of this camera is only 105 x 7^ x 6^-, while the magazine measures only 6^ x 6 x 2\. It is fitted, as above stated, to carry either glass or films, or both, the turning of two metal catches adapting it to the different thicknesses of either, and owing to this difference in thick- ness 24 films may be carried, as against 12 glass plates. This camera is covered in black leather, with black metal trimmings, and is unsurpassed for neatness of appearance. It is provided with a double achromatic lens, and has the advantage that it may be focused from the outside, by movement of a lever on the side of the box, it is pro- vided with a finder which is adjustable for horizontal or upright views, and has a shutter, simple of construction but thoroughly practicable, which may be used for either time or instantaneous exposures.

I HIS is the handiest, lightest and most easily handled detective camera ever put upon the market. In outward appearance it resembles a small hand bag, being made of fine sole leather and fitted with a sling strap for convenience in carrying. It occupies a space only 4x4x6 inches, and notwithstanding its small bulk, carries six double holders, which may be filled with glass plates or films and which are emptied and refilled by the operator himself precisely as if in a regular camera. The lens covers an angle of about 60, and is adjusted to universal focus, being therefore always in readiness for use. The camera is worked without taking from the case, and all mechanism is entirely concealed from view. The size of picture obtainable is 2^ inches square, and they may be either time or instantaneous exposures at will of the operator, the shutter having an adjustment for either the one or the other.

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

Alvan G. Clark Lenses. lenses are of such quality and capacity that they mark an A epoch in the construction of photographic objectives. They are the invention of Alvan G. Clark, the celebrated manufacturer of tele- scopes, and are of a construction dissimilar from anything heretofore followed, and are as striking in their results as Mr. Clark's success in the telescope objectives has been. (Full Size, 6)4 x 8J/>, A. G. C.) These lenses may be used with equal facility in three directions : 1. To all work to which the rapid rectilinear type may be adapted, when they give an angle of about 60 degrees, and in which capacity we enumerate them under List No. i. 2. To all work requiring a medium angle objective, as enumerated under List No. 2. 3. When the)' may be used as wide angle objectives, having an aper- ture of nearly 100 degrees, and as such they may be used with larger stop than any other specially constructed wide angle lenses. They are quite free from marginal distortion and magnified perspective, so com- mon to lenses of this class. As wide angle lenses they are quoted under List No. 3. When using these lenses in this capacity, care should be used in beveling the back of the front board, so as to allow free passage of the rays. The lenses are uncemented, each lens of the combination being mounted for itself, and are therefore free from danger of gradual de- crease in speed, so common in many lenses, owing to the chemical change in the cement. The crown glass is on the outside, and therefore less liable to become scratched. The mountings are unusually compact, and each mounting has engraved upon it Mr. Clark's autograph as well as our firm name. 45 Catalogue for Amateurs, While these lenses are intended to be used in all outdoor work, they are also particularly suited to copying, enlarging and photo-engraving work, and are superb for portraiture, particularly for groups, covering the plates for which they are rated, noticeably better than any others. Their characteristic qualities in almost every direction are of so high an order that we have no hesitation in claiming that they are superior to anv lens yet produced.

Dallmeyer's Lenses. THE extraordinary unanimity of opinion regarding the excellence of Mr. Dallmeyer's lenses both in Europe and America, is one of the most gratifying evidences of their great superiority. There is not a photographer of any note on either side of the Atlantic who is not the possessor of one or more some can count them by the dozen and the difference in cost between these and the inferior ones is very slight, when their great superiority is considered. None others approach them, and they have long been justly held to be the most indispensable of all the requisites of the art. In the quality of the glass used; in the perfection of finish and adjust- ment ; in softness, crispness and depth ; in rapidity, delicacy and every quality a lens should possess, the Dallmeyer lenses are unrivaled. With or without diaphragms, they are better adapted to the particular work in hand than any others ever made, and every kind of photographic re- quirement is provided for. Before purchasing, carefully read the infor- mation contained in the catalogue, particularly that regarding the series of rapid rectilinear and the wide angle rectilinear. The first requirement in making photographs of great merit, whether for portraiture, landscapes, architectural views, or copying, is a lens that in skilled hands promises the very best results. Those who excel uni- formly select Dallmeyer lenses and pronounce them indispensable. The PATENT PORTRAIT combinations have an adjustment of the back lens by which a diffusion of focus or depth of definition is obtained. This is not found in any other make. They also have a full set of the Waterhouse diaphragms in morocco cases. Mr. Dallmeyer's line of lenses is the most complete of any in market, embracing everything that can be wanted for any possible operation. T Dallmeyer's Wide-Angle Rectilinear Lenses.* (Patent.) HESE LENSES embrace angles of pictures from 90 to 100 deg., and enable photographers to take views of buildings, interiors, etc., in confined situations, where lenses of longer focus cannot be used, and where abso- lute rectitude of lines is imperative. The wide-angle rectilinear lens has the fol- lowing advantages over existing non-distorting double combination lenses : It is entirely free from a central spot. It can be used with a larger stop, /'. c., it is quicker in action. It * This lens is also well adapted for stereoscopic views. Catalogue for Amateurs. produces a more brilliant picture. The lenses of which it is composed are smaller and thinner, for a given sized plate, than those of other lenses intended for the same size of picture. The lenses are mounted in rigid settings or tubes, and each is fur- nished with a rotating diaphragm plate. In the column below, the largest size of plate covered by each lens is recorded ; and if microscopic definition up to the corners be required the smallest or smallest but one stop should be used.

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

Corresponding to each graduation in the scale is marked a number, which gives the relative time of exposure required for pictures of differ- ing intensity of lighting. It will prove of great value to those who are constantly overtiming or undertiming their plates. Pric Catalogue for Amateurs. Anthony's Universal Finder. Showing method of fastening Finder to Camera.

THE shutter is attached to the lens tube by means of a metal collar, that is provided with a binding screw to hold it firmly in place. The shutter consists of a wooden casing, with facing of hard rubber, inside of which is a hard rubber slide, having an aperture corresponding in size to the aperture in the cas- ing. This slide runs very easily in the grooves in wooden casing, and admits of a very rapid expos- ure when the shutter is set at full speed. The shutter is set by turn- ing (towards the right] the milled screw at the left hand side of back. The speed can be regulated at will by drawing out or pushing in the brass pull, seen in the cut, at lower left hand side of shutter, a binding screw at the left serving to hold this pull at any desired distance, thus perfectly regulating the speed. For time exposures the shutter should be set at slow speed, and the little brass piece on top of shutter at the left hand side (see cut), so ad- justed as to allow the long arm of the trigger to reach down as far as it will go, thereby engaging with the lower pin on the slide at the moment 59 Catalogue for Amateurs. when the openings in slide and wooden casing coincide.

Its simplicity of construction and operation, and its mechanism being on front in sight, recommend it. It has met with much favor since its introduction in Sum- mer of 1889. It is easily adapted for use in detective boxes, to be released by either, or both, push trip or pneu- matic. It is also made in stereoscopic form. The makers of this shutter assert that practical comparison with any other will demonstrate its un- questioned superiority. When no particular size shutter is specified in order, lenses as a rule are adapted to shutter having opening less than the largest diapraghm of lens. Thus, a 6 x 8^ lens is adapted to a No. i shutter. Rotary stops include five openings, largest corresponding with opening in shutter, four others such as are thought best.

This shutter, though expensive, is one of the most perfect ever made. To Operate the Shutter. For instantaneous work, push the lever, A, to the right (as shown in the cut). Revolve the nut, C, until the aperture is full, when the focus can be obtained. Revolve it further until it catches, and pull out the slide, D, as far as it will go ; then press the bulb and the operation is effected. For time exposures, push in the slide, U, to slacken the speed, push the lever, A, to the left, press the bulb and release the pressure. The shutter will remain open until the bulb is again pressed, when it closes instantly. The shutter is attached to the front of the lens by means of a collar. They are kept in stock of two sizes, aperture of i^ and i|^ inches. Collars may be fitted to any of the regular makes of lenses in market. Price, each.. $12.00 Catalogue for Amateurs. Diaphragm Shutter. TIME AND INSTANTANEOUS, WITH SILENT TIME ATTACHMENT. THE advantages of the principles involved in the Diaphragm Shutter are so apparent that they have from the outset been fully appreciated. It requires little argument to show that the proper place for opening and closing a Shutter is in the optical axis of the Lens, and in both time and instantaneous photography, it is evident that this Shutter, starting its opening with a pin hole and gradually increasing to the size of stop for which it is set, and returning in the same manner, will give the effect of a small stop, /. e., more depth and flatness. The makers have taken advantage of all the improvements, and offer the Model '90 with the confidence that it meets every condition. While the Shutter is in itself a nice piece of mechanism, the workmanship and finish are of the highest order. The advantages of this Shutter over others are as follows : There are no loose stops. The variation in size of stop is made by turning the black disk, which is supplied with a large index. Ab- solute control of time exposure. Large index giving correct indica- tion of time, in seconds and fractions thereof. Entire independence of speed regulation from the influence of temperature or humidity. By turning a lever it is set for either time or instantaneous exposure, and remains so until changed. The movement during exposure is almost absolutely free from concussion. The blades are changed from steel to hard rubber, so that there is no danger from rust. All parts which must be manipulated are placed at the front, easy of access. We guarantee that the Shutters and barrels are absolutely true and optically centered, whether arranged for our Lenses or others. While we have sample barrels of almost all known Lenses, we find that there is a variation in the thread of almost all makes. We will therefore assume no responsibility in fitting the same, and recommend that the Lenses or Lens tubes be sent to us to be fitted. MODEL '90. (Cut two-thirds of actual 5x8 size.)

Above shows it as in use with artificial light. THE CUTS give an admirably clear idea of the Universal Lantern, and at a glance any one" acquainted with the mechanism of pro- jecting lanterns will see its advantages. With only a passing reference 66 Catalogue for Amateurs. to the camera and front, the use of which is obvious, your attention is called to the apparatus for illumination, which is by all odds the most important feature of any enlarging lantern. The lamp, which is intended for use with kerosene, is provided with a double-wick burner, both flames emerging through a single aperture in the dome. This feature increases the volume of light two-fold ; the burner is provided with a close-fitting chimney-base fitted with an aper- ture covered with non-actinic glass, intended both for dark room illu- mination and also for observing the height of the flames. A conical light conductor connects the lamp with the condensing lenses, and is made to telescope so as to adjust the light accurately to the focus of the condensers ; this light conductor has an aperture at the side covered with a movable metallic disk, and is intended to admit of the operator finding the centering point of his flame on the condensers ; this he will see at a glance by the reflector. The lamp is not rigid, but can be re- volved so as to bring the flame in any desired position. Some negatives require a more intense light than others, and experience will show how to arrange the light for any particular occasion. The form of this lantern is such that all heat passes upwards through the chimney, and as there is no boxing around the apparatus it is always cool, and all risk of breaking lenses or negatives is avoided. The change from the use of artificial light to daylight is better shown in the cut than described in writing. With this lantern and a half-inch stop in a half-size portrait lens, life-sized enlargements from cabinet negatives may be easily made with Anthony's Reliable Bromide Paper in from thirty-five seconds to one minute, according to density of negative. Cooper Lantern as transformed into a Daylight Enlarging Camera, The design of this lantern is the result of long practical experience with various methods of illumination for enlarging, and we can guarantee its giving results as perfect as the electric light at a cost that makes comparison ridiculous. This lantern is also admirably suited for slide projection, and is therefore of double value to societies and colleges. 67 Catalogue for Amateurs, Any double combination lens may be used as an objective with this lantern a portrait lens for enlarging portraits and landscape lens for landscapes. This lantern may be transformed into an 8 x 10 portrait or copying camera by the addition of an adapter, double dry plate holder, and ground glass, at an extra expense of $10.

Remove the lamp and condensers, rack the front inward as far as it will come, then raise the back of the bellows- bearing frame from its position to the back of the bed-board on which it will be securely held by the screw heads which fit into the key-hole slots corresponding. Remove the front in the same way and set it back on the screws designed for it, which will be found on the movable bed operated by the rack work. Attach the ground-glass frame to the back and the instrument is ready for use. A dark room with an aperture in the window allowing the ground glass end to fit firmly so as to exclude all outside light, but allowing an unobstructed view of the sky, is the most satisfactory. If you cannot get a clear view of the sky use a mirror at a proper angle to reflect the sky above. White card-board reflectors may be used, but nothing equals the mirror. A shelf should be fastened to the win- dow to support the weight of the camera. USED AS A COPYING OR PORTRAIT CAMERA. Besides the double use for artificial or daylight work, this camera may be fitted with an attach- ment by which it can be quickly and easily adapted to the purposes of Cooper Lantern as transformed into Copying or Portrait Camera. a copying or portrait camera. The camera being put together as in use for daylight enlarging, the ground glass and carrier are removed, and 68 Catalogue for Amateurs. in their place a regular camera back is buttoned on. This is provided with a double dry plate holder, 8x 10, which is slid into position under the ground glass, as shown in the cut.

THE great merit of this enlarging lantern is its simplicity of con- struction, economy, and practical usefulness. It is intended for making enlargements on gelatino-bromide rapid printing paper by artificial light, requiring only from thirty to sixty seconds' exposure for a life-size head. Another purpose for which it admirably serves is that of a dark-room lantern. It is provided with non-actinic glass panels in the sides of the lantern. It can also be used as a copying camera for making lan- tern transparencies. Grooves in the interior admit of changing the relative positions of the negative and condensing lenses. It is very compact, the size being 18 x 15 x 8 inches. Improved Enlarging Lantern complete (except Portrait Lens), Including one quarter-size E. A. Portrait Lens, . $25.00 33-75 70 Catalogue for Amateurs. Anthony's Triplexicon Magic Lantern. WE have seen many lanterns in our time, but in several respects this eclipses them all, and especially those for use with kerosene oil only. The lamp itself is completely shielded with a well made hood of Russia iron, and is provided with the patent triplex wick, which affords the utmost illumination obtainable with any oil light. The back and front of the hood are closed interiorally by glass plates, specially annealed to withstand extreme heat, and the rear one is again closed by perforated sheet iron, covered interiorally with a highly polished metallic reflector, back of which is inserted an eye piece of ruby glass. The latter enables one to always observe the condition of the flame and wicks, and regulate them without disturbing or discontinuing the action of the instrument. The chimney is made telescopic to pack more closely. The diffusing lens, specially constructed for the purpose, is mounted on a cylindrical slide, to extend, if necessary, the focal distance, while the condensing lenses, which are of four-inch diameter and can be separated for cleaning, are inserted in a corresponding slide within the wooden case. The case itself is quite compact, and appears very ornamental in its highly polished mahogany, with its little hinged ventilators on either side at the bottom. The metal front is burnished, and has a spiral spring adapter for the admission of the slides. A substantial wooden box contains all, and serves also as a table for the instrument while in Altogether, this is the finest example of its kind we have yet seen. It will also serve admirably for enlargements with the gelatino-bromide paper. It is destined to become very popular. Price, $35.00. 7 1 Catalogue for Amateurs. E. A. Pocket Ruby Lantern.

It is simple and easy to manager is not complicated, yet has three separate and distinct forms of light, It is adapted for the use of either oil or gas ; is about nine inches square by fourteen high, with eight by ten ruby glass in front. Each lantern is provided with a coal-oil lamp, with improved patent burner and silvered reflector, which may be revolved in any direction and operated from the outside. By removing the revolving lamp bed, a hole will be found through which a gas burner can be introduced. It can be used for seven or more different operations in photography, several of which have never been combined in any one lantern, to wit : First. A safe light for the preparation of gelatino-bromide emulsion, Second. A safe light for the coating of gelatino-bromide plates. Lantern arranged for developing, and after fixing, examining negatives by opal light. Third. A safe light for developing the most sensitive plates, while for preparing developer or doing other work the room can be instantly 76 Catalogue for Amateurs. flooded with white light and as quickly changed to the red, giving abun- dance of light by which to develop the largest sized plates used. The adjustable hood effectually shields the eyes from the glare of the red light, a matter of the greatest importance to those having a large number of negatives to develop, or other work to perform necessitating red light. Fourth. An opal light by which to examine negatives or positives after fixing, enabling the operator to judge of their quality, thereby avoiding the necessity of leaving the dark room in search of white light. Fifth. A clear transparent light for making positives on glass (gelatino-bromide). This feature is a valuable one ; any photographer can materially add to his revenue by making these most beautiful products. Sixth. The making of enlarged negatives from gelatine positives, placed in front of opal light. Seventh. The making of photo-micrographs with the clear, trans- parent light, which can readily be accomplished with the gelatino- bromide plate and the microscope. Eighth. By the adjustment of condensers and holder for slides and objective in front of the clear light, a very effective magic lantern is foimed. Price, $6, boxed ready for shipment.

THIS NEW DEVELOPER, introduced by Prof. Henry J.

The " Giant " produces negatives with the greatest brilliancy, clear shadows and a splendid, quick printing color. It is admirably adapted to general work, yielding the most brilliant negatives, transparencies, or bromide prints. Perfect freedom from stain with rapidity of action, and a very strong tendency to do what is most desired of a developer, /. e., continue its action until the develop- ment is completed, combine to make it just what is required for the photographer, either professional or amateur.

Being in one solution, its management is easily understood by the beginner, who is often " all at sea " with developers put up in separate solutions. It stands unrivaled as a dry-plate developer, and is ex- tremely quick in action. It can be used with any brand of plates, giving beautifully soft negatives. To those who are desirous of avoiding the trouble of preparing their own developers it will commend itself on the very first trial ; and that it will figure as a valuable item in the travelers' photographic outfit, goes without saying. All who have used this developer thus far express them- selves as delighted with it. With this solution under- exposed plates will bear prolonged and forced develop- ment without showing the least tendency to become veiled or hazed in the shadows, as is so common with most developers.

By its use, the time of exposure may be made considerably less than with any developer now in use, and the resultant negative will be found to be full of detail, with the high lights crisp and brilliant. It is prepared in solution ready for use, and its keeping qualities are excellent. It may be used several times over, and for all but very much under exposed plates, old developer is better than new.

THESE CQNTRIVANCES are a great convenience to either amateur or professional photographers who wish to carry solutions of developer, etc., in their travels without possibility of breakage or leakage. The cases are drawn from solid metal and made of even thickness throughout, being cor- rugated for the purpose of giving them strength to resist crushing or indentation, as they are very light. This corrugation answers the purpose of a male and female screw, where- by the top of the case is screwed down until it rests on the glass stopple of the bottle and thus keeps it tightly in its place and prevents the bottle from rattling about in the case. The cut shows the case as it appears when open, indicating the style and position of the graduated tumbler which is furnished with the three last sizes. They are nickel finished and are very at- tractive in appearance. No. i. Diameter, if in.; length, 3^ in.; weight, 4^ oz., furnished with i oz. bottle, each, . . . $0.50 No. 3A.

The Anthony Self-Changing Shower Washing Box. (Patent applied for.) THE ANTHONY SELF-CHANGING SHOWER WASHING BOX for dry plate negatives is a nicely constructed and con- venient apparatus. Made substantially of zinc inside and out, it has interior grooves in which either 5x8 or 8xio negatives may be placed. When the negatives are introduced, the hose is attached to a faucet, the lid is now closed and locked if desired, and the water turned on. It will be seen that the water enters the washer from above, and that the inside of the lid is made in the form of a perforated fountain, which discharges a spray over the plates When the negatives are entirely submerged, the water is all drawn off by means of a self- acting siphon, and the process of showering is repeated. With this apparatus the hypo can be thoroughly eliminated from the gelatine film in from fifteen minutes to half an hour. The change of water is continuous. Price, $5. T Moody's Double Fountain Negative Washer. 'HIS is a new and thoroughly practicable arrangement for washing negatives, and consists of an outer box of heavy metal, provided with a tube at bottom, for attachment of rubber hose, which distributes the water through perforated pipes run- ning lengthwise of the box, the perfo- rations of which are on the inside of pipe and at such an angle to each other as to ccuse the streams of water to cross each other in an upward direction in the middle of the box, which results in a constant upward current to the overflow pipe, thus insuring a perfect elimination of free chemical agents from the negatives. A removable wire rack, as shown in 'the cut, serves to hold fifteen negatives in an upright position within the box.

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

FOR preserving prints from negatives of one's own work, these Albums form a handsome and interesting addition to the library table. They are very beautifully bound in cloth, with gilt stamp on side, Catalogue for Amateiirs. the corners being finished with leather. The purest quality of card-board is used in their manufacture, made expressly for mounting photographs and free from any chemicals injurious to prints.

THIS album is unequaled for convenience, strength, durability and gentility of appearance. Its greitest advantage lies in the fact that its leaves are entirely independent of the book itself and of each other, and one or all may be removed from the covers, and the whole or a part replaced or new leaves substituted with perfect ease. The covers and heavy fly leaves front and back, constitute the binding, the latter being very strongly made with linen guards, which are provided with four holes and lacings ; the cards are provided with a jointed linen guard which is punctured to match lace holes in fly leaves, and the whole operation of lacing one or more leaves in this way is simplicity itself. By using this album, prints may be remounted on either or both sides of card, and may also be burnished without injury to the album, which is alone a most important feature. The guards being made with a patent double flexible joint, admit of the album being opened in a perfectly flat position without difficulty, and the ease of binding makes possible a classification and rearrange- ment of subjects from time to time. 106 Catalogue for Amateurs.

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

A LAMP for burning Pure Magnesium, which combines simplicity, practicability, cleanliness of working and perfect combustion of powder at small expense. The inventor, Mr. E. M. Pine, is one of the most successful of amateur Catalogue for Amateurs. photographers ; his Flash Light Photographs having been awarded first prize at the Pittsburgh Exhibition in 1888. Recognizing the danger attending the use of the various Explosive Compounds heretofore used for illuminating, Mr. Pine has succeeded, after much experimenting, in inventing a Lamp for burning Pure Mag- nesium, and takes pride in offering one which, for brilliancy, rapidity and simplicity, has been pronounced by professional photographers, who have tested it, to be the most complete Flash Lamp in the market. Its peculiar construction insures perfect combustion, and as magnesium is non-explosive, absolute safety is assured. The Lamp is so portable that it can be easily carried in the pocket ; weight about 4 ounces. Directions for use accompany each Lamp. Price of Lamp as per cut, complete, with one dozen capsules packed in pasteboard box, with directions, $2.50. Extra loaded capsules per dozen, 60 cents. Mize Flash Lamp. (Patented Oct. 22, 1889.) THE LAMP here offered embodies the latest improvements of the original inventor of this system of mag- nesium lighting. It consists of three essential parts, namely : a large flat alcohol lamp, a receptacle for magnesium holding about sixty grains, and a large hand pressure bulb, all com- pactly joined together, but separable for convenience in carrying. The apparatus when properly charged will give, with a single pressure on the bulb, an intense and brilliant light sufficient to fully expose from fifteen to twenty feet. By repeated pressures, large, interiors may be photographed with wide angle lenses. The apparatus is held in and operated by the same hand, and requires no other support, and the light may be projected in any direction, and at any angle of ele- vation. Price, complete, .......... $3.0x3 CAUTION. The so-called " flash powders " should never be used in this or any other form of lamp, but only pure magnesium. Catalogue for Amateurs. The Reeves Magnesium Flash Lamp. T~) EFERENCE to the cut shows its simplicity and easy method of _Lv using. The rimmed back, 7 x 9^2 inches in size, holds horizontally two wicks, the pan below has other wicks or pads of cotton wool, sur- rounding the bowl of an ingeniously shaped brass blow pipe, to which is attached rubber tube and bulb. To use it, the pipe is charged with powdered metallic magnesium, a small quantity of alcohol poured on the wicks, which, when lighted, give a very large flame (the width of the back and several inches higher), pressure on the bulb fires the magnesium through the blaze, the result being a flash of tremendous size and actinic power. Then the back, which is hinged, is shut down, at once extinguishing the blazing alcohol. There is no smoke, and there be- ing no reservoir for alcohol, there is absolutely no danger of explosion. The bowl of the blow-pipe is so designed that it spreads the magnesium in a fan-like shape through all parts of the flame, using only about twelve grains of powder. Inside the hinged back are hooks to fasten the wicks, also a false back with curved bottom to convey the superfluous alcohol from upper wicks into lower pan. The back has spring to set it at any angle ; there is a guard or fender to blow-pipe to prevent it over-heat- ing, and cover for same. The whole is well and strongly made through- out of Russia iron, neatly mounted on metal-covered board, packed in box. Full instructions inclosed with lamp. Price, complete, including rubber tube and bulb, wicks, etc., . . $3.00 CAUTION. Do not use any of the so-called flash powders in this or any other form of lamp, but only pure magnesium. 114 Catalogue for Amateurs, The Safety Flash Igniter. (Patent applied for.) T I HIS IGNITER may be used for either Compound Flash Powders, Mag- nesium Cartridges or pure Magnesium Powder on a substratum of Flash Cotton. It is safe, reliable and simple in con- struction, consisting of a carbon heat arranged under a receptacle for the cotton and magnesium, the latter being fired by pressure of rubber bulb which forces the flame upward. It may be used with long or short tube and is perfectly under the control of opera- tor. Price, including box of scented carbons, rubber bulb and 3 feet of rubber tubing, complete in wooden box, $4.00. Extra boxes of prepared and scented carbons, enough for over 100 exposures, 25 cts. Extra rubber tubing in lengths up to 50 feet, 5 cents per foot. Imperial Magnesium Flash Lamp.

The Catalogue for Amateurs. amount of smoke given off is insignificant, exposure succeeding exposure without hindrance therefrom. The full charge is 15 grains (at the utmost 20 grains) of pure magnesium, a few grains, however (3 to 5), being sufficient for simple portraiture. Full directions accompany each lamp. Price $6.00 CAUTION. The so-called " flash powders " should never be used in this or any other form of lamp, but only pure magnesium. Photogenic Pistol and Magnesium Cartridges For instantaneous photography at night. THE remarkable results obtained by using Photogenic Cartridges, fired from a pistol, have induced us to place them upon the market.

FOR use with Magnesium Lamps, according to printed directions furnished with the various kinds of lamp. This Magnesium Powder, being entirely free from explosive com- pounds, will not ignite by application of fire only, but is suitable only for use with a flash lamp or with our flash cotton specially prepared for the purpose. For use with Cotton Directions : Sprinkle 15 grains or a teaspoon filled to water level of the powder, lightly and evenly over one or two layers of the flash cotton which has previously been picked out, into a flaky condition, free from lumps and bunches ; taking care that the 116 Catalogue for Amateurs, bottom layer is sufficiently thick to prevent the magnesium from filter- ing through it. When ready to expose plate, ignite the cotton with match or taper, keeping well away from the flame which is very hot ; for this reason it should be prepared and ignited on a metal plate or piece of asbestos board. Remember, that with magnesium lamps, pure metallic magnesium is the only safe thing to use. Never use compound flash powder of any kind in a lamp. Price, ......... 50 cents per ounce. Anthony's Compound Magnesium Powder For Instantaneous Photography at Night, or in Dimly Lighted Interiors. THIS POWDER is unexcelled for its actinic power and absolute safety. It is entirely free from chlorate of potass it cannot explode, either by friction or concussion, but can only be ignited by actual contact with flame. It is especially useful in copying with orthochromatic plates, objects in which color values are particularly important. Oil paintings and rich interior decorations photographed by this light, in conjunction with orthochromatic plates, will give results of extraordinary fidelity. It is put up in cans, each containing one ounce, which is sufficient for two dozen ordinary exposures. This powder is only intended for use without lamp, and must never be used with lamp of any make.

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