The mere amateur photograph looks
with veneration blended with covet-
BUSINESS at the beautiful color photo
graphs by T. Edward B. Greene of
Pasadena. The process is a recent
French discovery, dating back only to
1907 and is known practically in Amer
lea to only a few enterprising dealers.
but the results obtained are exquisite.
In the center of the inner room Is a
long glass case containing a fascinat-
ing display of etchers' tools and sew
eral plates, and in a compartment by
themselves are few rare old en-
cravings.
The catalogue of the exhibit is in
itself a noteworthy specimen OF the
engraver's art.
The exhibit will be opened this morn
ing at 10 o'clock to the public and will
continue through the week.
