ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the high
perfection to which the art of photograph
ing has been brought by the inventions
and improvements of late years, there are
really more poor pictures than good ones
taken every day. There are SO many nice
points which 60 to make up a frst-rate
picture, that nine out of ten artists fail for
want of good taste and accurate knowledge
of the effect of light or lack OF experience
in dealing with the chemicals. Among the
artists of the city who have established a
reputation for fine work, carefully and
delicately finished, are the Foljsmbe Bro
theirs. The eGrtes dc Visits taken by them
will bear comparison with those of any
gallery in the city. Their apparatus for
taking cabinet-sizs and l~ife-size photo

Mr.. Liebich, the artist in their employ,
finishes them with rare skill and taste.
The specimens of cabinet-size photographs
in their show case will bear the closest in
