The favorable comments received from all sources testify to the unrivaled results obtained by thePhotogravure Process, as worked by our method.
In reviewing a set of photogravures of the Clifton Water Garden, from negatives by the proprietor, Mr. S. C. Nash, theFlorists' Exchange, says:
"In his work he has been ably seconded by Messrs. E. C. Meinecke & Co., of New York, the makers and printers of the plates. Without fear of contradiction, we state there is no method of reproducing a picture to compare with the photogravure process, except, possibly, the expensive and tedious steel plate. For fidelity to detail, sharpness of outline, contrast of light and shadow, breadth and depth, and absolute fidelity to life, we choose this.

The Photographic Appetite
increases by what it feeds on. The beginner is usually content to start with a modest outfit, but as interest grows the hunger for more artistic results calls for better facilities so that the apparatus must constantly be of a more improved pattern and contain all the latest fixings, till finally the question of improvement is entirely one of the value of the lens.
To suit this growing appetite we make a line of camera boxes unequaled for workmanship and convenient appliances. We can supply any stage of hunger, and make to order to suit any whim. Any photographic question cheerfully answered. Send for our Catalogue.

ANTHION-SCHERINGThe Best Hypo Eliminator.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE.
Five grammes (75 grains)Anthionare dissolved in one litre (one quart) of luke-warm distilled water. The solution keeps for at least one month.
a.The plate (13 × 18 centimetres—5 × 7 inches) or film, after fixing, is allowed to drain and then washed for about five minutes in a dish with about 600 cubic centimetres (20 fluid ounces) water; it is then again allowed to drain.
b.Afterward it is laid in a second dish with 200 c.c. (7 fluid ounces)Anthion solution, and again allowed to remain for five minutes with occasional stirring.
c.The plate is then once more laid in 600 c.c. (20 fluid ounces) fresh water, exactly according to directiona.
d.The operationsbandcare repeated.
The plate is thenfree from fixing soda. (In order to determine this, proceed as follows:)
To be certain that all the fixing soda is completely destroyed, proceed as follows: Several c.c. (half to one teaspoonful) of the last washing water are poured into a test-tube, and three or four drops silver nitrate solution (1 to 20) added. A white precipitate generally forms. If this gradually acquires ayellowtint, fixing soda is still present.
In such a case operationsaandbare to be repeated.
The operations are carried out as under A, but instead of one plate five fixed copies (13 × 18 c.c.—5 × 7 inches) are taken, allowed to drain one by one, then laid singly in water (videa), afterward inAnthion solution(videb), then again in water (videc), again inAnthion solution(vided), and finally in water.
It is important that the paper prints are frequently separated in the different baths.If the prints stick together, the solution does not penetrate and cannot act.
For large plates and prints it is not only necessary to use larger dishes, but also more liquid, bothAnthion solutionand water. An excess ofAnthionor of water is decidedly useful, but less is disadvantageous.
The above directions for washing relate to those who have no continual flow of water at hand.
If a continual flow of water is obtainable, it is advisable to wash the plates or prints in flowing water for a quarter of an hour, and then dip in theAnthion solutionand test the result as above.
