AN ANNOUNCEMENT!
We have made arrangements with the NEW YORK PHOTOGRAVURE COMPANY by
which we are enabled to offer a series of magnificent Photogravures
at a very low price.
The first is that which has been already published and described by
us, being the "COURT OF HONOR," at the World's Fair. The companion
to this is in preparation, and will shortly be ready. It represents
a view of the "ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND COURT OF HONOR," looking
up from the Peristyle. These two pictures form a magnificent
souvenir of the World's Fair, and imperishable ones, which have not
been approached in artistic or technical excellence. Each measures
about 18 x 22 inches, and they are printed in the best style, on
paper 24 x 32 inches.
The next two pictures are photogravures from negatives made by Mr.
JOHN E. DUMONT, of Rochester, and form admirable companion pictures.
Their titles are, "NO DOUBT," and "IN DOUBT," and represent, in one
case, a monk with a winning hand of cards, and having no doubt what
his play is to be. In the other, a monk holding a hand of cards
which evidently is a losing one, and, as evidently, he is in doubt
as to what to play.
The story of these pictures is admirably told, and with all the well
known skill of Mr. DUMONT.
The next in the series is a "LANDSCAPE WITH SHEEP," by Mr. ROBERT S.
REDFIELD, of Philadelphia, and can well pass for a reproduction of a
painting by VERBECK HOVEN, not that it is in any sense a copy of any
picture, being entirely original, but in sentiment and feeling
equaling the best and most artistic work of the painter. As a
companion to this, "A STORM AT BRIGHTON" is published. This was one
of the prize pictures at the recent exhibition of the joint
Societies of Amateur Photographers of Boston, Philadelphia and New
York. It is exceedingly effective as a study of cloud and motion of
water, and forms an admirably suggestive study for artists. It is
from a negative by Mr. ERNEST EDWARDS, President of the New York
Photogravure Company.
The well-known picture of "Flirtation" has also been engraved for
this series, and will be very popular. This picture (it will be
remembered) appeared in the American "Annual of Photography" for
1892.
With the exception of the two first, all these pictures measure
about 16 x 12 inches for size of work, and are printed on etching
paper, 22 x 28 inches.
The uniform price of all is $2.00 each. For sale by all dealers.
Other subjects will follow, from time to time.
These Photogravures will be sent, post-paid, by mail,
carefully packed, on receipt of price.

Artistic Landscapes
FROM NATURE.
Representing The Four Seasons.
These plates were made from photographs taken direct from nature.
They have been most beautifully reproduced by the highest grade
(copper-plate) process of the New York Photogravure Company. The
plates measure 6 x 8 inches, but are printed on extra heavy plate
paper 11 x 14 inches in size. Each picture is printed in a tint
especially appropriate for the season which it represents, and the
entire set of photogravures are in every way =worthy of framing=.
The negatives were photographed from nature by Mr. W. I. LINCOLN
ADAMS, and they have been _enthusiastically praised wherever shown_.
What GEORGE INNESS, America's greatest landscape painter, says of
these photogravures:
"They are very charming, and should prove extremely useful in the
development of the landscape art of our country."
They are sold singly or in sets.

The Grammar of Photo-Engraving.
By H. D. FARQUHAR.
(Number Forty-five of the Scovill Photographic Series.)
CONTAINING INSTRUCTION IN
Drawing, Chemistry and Optics, as applied to Photo-Engraving.
AND A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE ART OF
HALF-TONE, ZINC ETCHING, SWELLED GELATINE, LITHOTYPE AND
CHALK PLATE ENGRAVING, AS PRACTICED IN THE UNITED STATES.
ILLUSTRATED.
The object of this book is to present to the constantly increasing
number of persons seeking after practical knowledge in the art of
process engraving, a comprehensive and totally reliable text-book.
The book has been written with a view to instruct the amateur as
well as the professional, and the writer has always had in mind the
beginner, counting no detail too trivial to be fully described.
It has been written for the most part in the leisure hours, after
practical service during the day in a photo-engraving establishment,
so that the instruction goes directly from the shop to the pupil. It
has been the author's hope, in writing this book, to so carefully
describe every branch of work connected with the subject, that the
beginner, who knows absolutely nothing about it, may become a
practical photo-engraver from a careful reading of the work.
