Race Glasses, byVolgtlander, are now ao longer the ex-
clusive luxury of the rich. Since the great demand for
photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has
been afforded for applying mechanical power with the
greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and
most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some
instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now
no dearer than those of the best French or English makers.
At the depot Callaghan, 23A, New Bond-street, corner of
Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge
their taste iu the possession of a veritable Voigtlauder at
comparatively trifling cost. It is superfluous to say the
quality is as over matchless.
