A new triumph Of Photographic art IL re-

Is interested In making the operation popular,
OF having with one an indalibls imprint ON

certainly very pleasing one. Indeed. to those
without sentimental feelings such discovery
would prove Of interest rs affording q chance

Yes. that sounds very pretty" said Mr.. A.

large Photographic establishments. but there
isn't much in it. I've been staining my hands
with acids for nearly thirty years in the bust
