| 1. |  | 1905 Book cover for "Photographic Amusements including a Description of a Number of Novel Effects Obtainable with the Camera" by Walter E. Woodbury (New York: The Photographic Times Publishing Association, 1905) Book cover This work is out of copyright INTRODUCTION. As Mr. Woodbury stated in his introduction to the original edition of this book, in order to avoid misunderstanding, it would be well to explain at the outset that it is not intended as an instruction book in the Art of Photography in any sense of the word. It is assumed that the reader has already mastered the technical difficulties of Photographic practice and is able to make a good negative or print. It was the purpose of the author to describe a number of novel and curious effects that can be obtained by the aid of the camera, together with some instructive and interesting photographic experiments. The contents of the work were compiled from various sources, chiefly from "The Photographic Times," "The Scientific American," "The American Annual of Photography," "La Nature," " Photographischer Zeitvertreib," by Herman Schnauss, and "Les Recreations Photographiques," by A. Bergeret et F. Drewin; and the illustrations were likewise taken from various sources. In conclusion the author or compiler modestly lay claim to very little himself, quoting the words of Montaigne, who said: "I have gathered me a paste of other men's flowers, of which nothing but the thread that binds them is mine own." And yet so popular did the book prove that in the course of its nearly ten years of life, it ran through edition after edition, and now is entirely out of print. The publishers of The Photographic Times thereupon, acquired the copyright of the popular volume and, herewith, republish an entirely new edition, which they send forth on its mission of instruction and entertainment. W. I. LINCOLN ADAMS. NEW YORK, January, 1905. |

Family snapshots are placed in cut-out frames on alternate squares and in the corners. Imagine the intimate setting in which checkers or chess would be played by family members. A wonderful folk art object, it also reminds me of the array of photographs in Walker Evans' photograph of the studio window. |

US Patent: 44023 - "Photograph Stamp Portrait Sheet". http://www.vintage-reprints.com/catalog/1887-kuhn-photograph-stamp-portrait-sheet-patent-44023-44023.html The Photographic News (London), Vol.XXVIII, No.1356, August 29, 1884, p.552 reported: The photographic carte-de-visite has always been an album portrait rather than a visiting card in the ordinary sense; but why, indeed, should not an actual photographic card for every-day use become common ? It would merely be necessary to attach a postage stamp portrait to the back or front of the usual visiting card. Although very popular just now in the United States, the stamp portraits are not often seen here; in America they are sent out in sheets, ready perforated and gummed. Mark Haworth-Booth "Camille Silvy: Photographer of Modern Life" (National Portrait Gallery, 2010) 2010, p.108-109 includes a "Proof sheet of postage stamp portrait of Alexandre Monnier" (ca. 1866) that used this technique. |

| 87. |  | Unidentified photographer / artist 1883 Composite portrait Book illustration Google Books Francis Galton, Inquiries into Human Faculty, (London: Macmillan & Co. , 1883), p.344 The accompanying woodcut is as fair a representation of one of the composites as is practicable in ordinary printing. It was photographically transferred to the wood, and the engraver has used his best endeavour to translate the shades into line engraving. This composite is made out of only three components, and its threefold origin is to be traced In the ears, and in the buttons to the vest. To the best of my judgment, the original photograph is a very exact average of its components; not one feature in it appears identical with that of any one of them, but it contains a resemblance to all, and is not more like to one of them than to another. However, the judgment of the wood engraver is different. His rendering of the composite has made it exactly like one of its components, which it must be borne in mind he had never seen. It is just as though an artist drawing a child had produced a portrait closely resembling its deceased father, having overlooked an equally strong likeness to its deceased mother, which was apparent to its relatives. This is to me a most striking proof that the composite is a true combination. |

It is the worthy Colonel playing chess, with himself as an antagonist, and also himself looking on. The manner of producing this interesting result will be a problem for many of our readers, and we shall be glad to hear how they would accomplish the result. Colonel Pennington will furnish his method of procedure in a future Bulletin. |
