the work This may be either in the
photograph itself, as in the case OF
flowers, grasses, ETC., or it may be In
troduced by accessory work, such as
borders or other ornamentation in pen
and ink or wash. Very pretty effects
may be obtained by using two photo
graphs in combination, one as back
ground to the other. A group OF views
arranged in some novel manner would
also afford scope for much originality.
A simple border can easily be added
to any photograph and will give fin
ish to the picture, but where there have
been much labor and time spent IL
decorative work the best plan is to re
photograph the whole to any size de
