Hesler. I think your journal the best I ever saw; it treats with great clearness all subjects. E. C. WlNANS. The Bulletin has already been worth more than a year’s subscription to me. I do not want to be without it. Long live the Bulletin! It serves as a beacon light to the photographer who is far away from the great leaders, and he can, through it, see his way clear. Success to the men who have done so much for us, and the great leading spirits who give us so much for so little. P.

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 blow to Make Photographs; A Manual for Amateurs, by T. C. Roche, recently published by our house. It has been penned and edited by eminent theo¬ retical and practical photographers. Ihat work has been written with the view 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-bromkle dry plate lias so revolu¬ tionized 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 01 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 re- quired 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 quits READ CAREFULLY THESE FEW FACTS. 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 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 arc practical working instruments such as are in constant use by professional photog¬ raphers. All are fitted with our Patent Perfect Double Dry Plate Holders, which arc 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 from numbers I to 6 are fitted with fine single achromatic lenses, which (with the exception of the 4x5) are provided with changeable diaphragms, so that the time of exposure may be varied to suit the subject. They are adapted for landscapes and out-of-door groups and in a good light require but a second’s time (or even less) to make a picture. Amateurs who aim to excel, and with whom the cost is a secondary consideration, are invited to examine the more expensive double achro¬ matic 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 bcttei giades you can do better work more easily. First decide what size you want, then get the best you can afford of that-size. With these few hints and explanations we take pleasure in opening to your view and for your consideration the pages of this little book, with the further assurance that everything therein mentioned is guaranteed to be exactly as described. ,. : it cTTY CENTER U0?ARY Anthony s Amateur Outfits.

This little camera is the neatest, nattiest, and altogether nicest camera of its kind ever made. When folded it measures 5 x 5 x 3P 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 mahogany, with our new hard finish, flexible bellows and brass mountings, making a remarkably 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 rapid printing paper in connection with our 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.

We consider these plates the best for both the professional and amateur. bor rapidity, uniform intensity, excellent printing qualities and cleanliness they are unexcelled. We quote one from many testimonials : I have no hesitation in pronouncing the Stanley plates as the very best in the market, here or in Europe ; being the 22 ANTHONY'S ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE most extremely rapid plates extant, always reliable and possessing the highest artistic qualities, rendering the several gradations of light and shade, from the lowest depths of shadow to the highest point of light, in the most perfect and decided manner. Their printing qualities resemble the much admired wet plates. I do not intend to use any other for instantaneous work in the future. They are, undoubtedly, the plate for your detective camera. “The lens used for the test was a Dallmeyer rapid rectilinear, with second smallest stop, and a Prosch shutter set at its greatest speed. “ Faithfully yours, “ R.

The Tropical plate is the most important discovery yet made in dry plate photography. It can be washed in water of any temperature without frilling or having the film affected in any way. By this means the hyposulphite of soda used in fixing is much more thoroughly and easily eliminated. When fixed, the negative can be dried over a spirit lamp in a few minutes. This removes the only remaining difficulties in dry plate photography, and makes them available in the hottest climates.

The following are some of the advantages possessed by this Lantern : It saves your eyesight. It is simple and easy to manage, nothing complicated, yet has three separate and dis¬ tinct 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 deep ruby glass in front. Each lantern is provided with a coal-oil lamp, with improved patent burner and sil¬ vered 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: OF AMATEUR EQUIPMENTS. 29 1.

The adjustable hood effectually shields the eves from the glare of the red light, a matter of the greatest importance to those having a large num¬ ber of negatives to develope, or other work to perform ne¬ cessitating red light. 4.

A clear transparent light for making positives on glass (gelatino-bromide). This feature is a valuable one ; any pho- tographer can materially add to his revenue by making these most beautiful products. 6. The making of enlarged negatives from gelatine posi¬ tives, placed in front of opal light. 7. The making of photo-micrographs with the clear, trans¬ parent light, which can readily be accomplished with the gel¬ atino-bromide plate and the microscope. 8.

The Burnisher can be heated with any kind of lamp—al¬ cohol, coal oil, or gas. During the process of heating, the roll can be turned back from the burnishing tool, thereby preventing the condensation of moisture forming on the roll or tool. To dress the burnishing tool, the roll is simply turned back from the tool in an instant. No hot plates to handle, and consequently no burnt fingers. The machine has also the patent removable burnishing tool, which is a decided advantage.

After this the ground glass may be entirely dispensed with, as it is then only necessary to es¬ timate the distance of the object to be photographed and move the focussing 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 cam- OF AMATEUR EQUIPMENTS. 37 era, thus showing the position of the image on the plate.

OF AMA TFA 7 ? EQUIPMENTS. 53 The Anthon tf Self-Changing Shoiver Wash - ing Box. (patent applied for.) 'lhe Anthony Self-Changing Shower Washing Box for chy-plate negatives is a nicely-constructed and convenient apparatus. Made substantially, and well japanned inside anti out, it has interior grooves in which either 5x8 or 8 x 10 negatives may be placed. When the negatives are introduced, the hose is attached to a faucet; the lid is now closed and locked il 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 per¬ forated fountain, which discharges a spray over the plates. When the negatives are entirely submerged, the water is all drawn ofll by means of a self-acting syphon, 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. Fhe change of water is continuous. Price, $5 00. 54 ANTHONY'S ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE Anthony’s Note Enlarging Comoro. The great merit of this New Enlarging Camera is its sim¬ plicity of construction, economy, and practical usefulness. It is intended for making enlargements on gelatino-bromide rapid printing paper by artificial light, requiring only from thirty to sixty seconds' exposure for a life-size head. Another purpose for which it admirably serves is that of a dark-room lantern. All of them are provided with non-actinic glass panels in the sides of the camera. It can also be used as a copying camera for making lantern transparencies. Grooves in the interior admit of changing the relative posi¬ tions of the negative and condensing lens.

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 completelv shielded with a well-made hood of Russian iron, and is provided with the patent triplex wick, which affords the utmost illumination ob¬ tainable with any oil light. The back and front of the hood are closed interiorly by glass plates, specially annealed to with¬ stand extreme heat, and the rear one is again closed by per¬ forated sheet iron covered interiorly with a highly-polished metallic reflector, back of which is inserted an eve-piece of ruby glass. The latter enables one to always observe the con¬ dition of the flame and wicks, and regulate them without dis¬ turbing or discontinuing the action of the instrument. The chimney is made telescopic, to pack more compactly. I he diffusing lens, specially constructed for the purpose, is mounted on a cylindrical slide, to extend, if necessary, the OF AMATEUR EQUIPMENTS. 57 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 orna¬ mental in its highly-polished mahogany, with its little hinged ventilators on either side at the bottom. The metal front is burnished, and has a spiral spring adapter for the admission of the slides. A substantial wooden box contains all, and serves also as a table for the instrument while in use. Altogether, this is the finest example of its kind we have yet seen. It will also serve admirably for enlargements with the gelatino-bromide paper. It is destined to become very popular. Price $40 00. Anthony’s New Econont ivat Developer. This developer is put up in a highly concentrated form, keeps well, and will perform nearly twice the work of any similar developer. Being in one solution, its manage¬ ment is easily understood by the beginner, who is often “all at sea’' with developers put up in separate solutions. It stands unrivaled as a dry-plate developer, and is extremely quick in action. It can be used with any brand of plates, giving beauti¬ fully solt negatives. lo those who are desirous of avoiding the trouble of preparing their own developers it will recommend itself on the very first trial; and that it will figure as a valuable item in the traveler’s photographic outfit goes without saying. All who have used this developer thus far express themselves as delighted with it. With this solution under-exposed plates will bear prolonged and forced development without showing the least tendency to become veiled or hazed in the shadows, as is so common with most developers. Price, per bottle, 40 cents. 5* ANTHONY'S ILL US TRA TED CA TALOGl ~E Improved Foc us i n , H SJ IV •MrtCTiM ,r T nqVMiri ‘sjnoA Apux ,,-sua-q lamg aqi paiu^vui OM uctu aqi uodn sSutssajg „—Aes p|no*t q ‘ezuej oqauBg jo aSBtilsuEl aqi u| ■qL ui pip 1 SE upaua qonut se qitA\ auaq qJOA\ Aut pua ]|Eqs q sqnsai tpns ainaa. oi aiiunuoa usa i ir -SuiqstuoisE Ajduns atE g 8 '°M sua I pau3 A °3 ajgus puu qiaap aqr iq3nB3 pue jpd AqnjnnEaq pus A[duEqs isoui ;[E souna aaqjo psjpunq e puE ai i -uiini -qsq-pJOMS ‘suiqs piedoa; ‘souqEj painqd asiEoa ‘sSumau ‘spuiq Aubui jo spoo.w ■siEuaiEiu sno-tqq 3JE a-taqg. -*i°* aqi oi lEtiba Agnq seav tt.tnq ‘sua; I n J ja P u °*f"°* JOI [EU1 aiaAas e pus isai luagaaxa ue papjoqjB ssq aimatd aqi ut papn|Du; [EuaiEtu IO aU'uea isaiS aqq, uomsodxg aqi ui uaqEl .iej os aAUESau isaq aqi pue aae» J3a 3 | sSutqi aitsmbxa worn aqi jo 3uo si it P-.oa\ sua; jo aputExa ue sy Ji l no q B Ajsa" autos Aes ppoqs q 'qiOA\ s,asia Apoqauios it auaA\ aAtiE§3U suag uain S e iuojj apEtu ‘uotitsodxg aqi jo f-inoj svxnpwfj 1° * z x oz e u°A pEtu ; Sgs 1 'i AJEtuqag ‘sstvaiao A\a^q 'soag Na'ny ’sassajM ■uaSEUE^ ssamsng pue jioqra aiepossy ^ . n „, Aq x,»«d» Ut paiEU-MAO I0U SI 1!
