With faded prints, therefore, use a slow ortho plate, with a light-filter, in- crossing the exposure any, eight, times; if brown, yellowish brown, or red-coloured engravings are being copied, use the same kind of plate, but employ a light-filter, increasing the exposure some twenty times; this will keep back the action in the high lights.

ARRANGING THE PRINT, First Gx the camera to its tripod. I advise the novice to do this in proforence to employ ing the camera, without a stand, as is sometimes done, by simply placing it on a box in such a manner that the 'lous comes op- posito the contre of the print or illustration which is to be copied, this having been pinned to a drawing-board, and supportod at its proper distance front the camera. In the latter caso it is often difficult to keep the in- strument square with the copy, and in the putting in and taking out of the dark-slide it is very probable that move- ment will take place. I suggest therefore, that the tripod should bo used; further, I do not recom- mend copying indoors, for except one is able to get near a rather large window, it is almost in- possible evonly to illuminate the whole of the picture which it is desired to reproduce, I recom
