716 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. [NOvEMBER 9, 1883. Specification Published during the Week. 1380. R. BrowN, R. W. BARNES, and J. Bell, “ Preparation of pictures and photographs to be used in the production of pic tures by photography and photo-engraving, and production of gelatine reliefs and printing surfaces therefrom. The full text of this specification appeared in the PHOrO- GRAPHIC News nearly two months ago. (See page 602). Patents Granted in Germany. 24,772. J. D. Moller and J. S. Moller, of Wedel, Holstein, for “A photographic collodion process for obtaining greater sensibility and durability of the prepared plates.”—Dated 3rd January, 1883.—Class 67. —• HOW TO GLAZE PHOTOGRAPHS. BY E. WIDEMAN.* Taks virgin wax 8 grammes, and of ordinary ether 100 grammes; shake, and allow them to dissolve. Over each plate to be waxed (take care they are perfectly clean), pour a little of this liquid, 8 or 10 drops, and polish with a pad of linen until all traces of the wax have disappeared. Next dissolve about 40 grammes of white gelatine in 400 of ordinary water in a hot water oven, and filter through a cloth or fine sieve into a porcelain dish. Coat the waxed surface of the plate with normal collodion, of 1 gramme guncotton to 50 of ether and 50 of alcohol. When just set, immerse in the warm gelatine bath, while the mounted photograph is also soaked until thoroughly impregnated with gelatine. Raise the plate with the finger to let it drain, and allow the gelatine to form a solid body with the collo dion, and apply the picture to the surface without taking out of the bath. Press the card against the glass, beginning at the top, and inclining them as they are being taken out; with the other hand cause the rest to adhere by lightly rubbing the card down with a fine sponge. Afterwards, wipe off the excess of gelatine from the back of the card and reverse of the plate; leave it to dry in a warm place, and in about eight or nine hours cut round the edges, and if it is dry, it will come apart directly. A little experience will suffice to obtain very pretty results, free from bubbles ; the gelatine may be coloured at will with aniline dyes soluble in water. Correspondenre. PHOTOGRAPHS OF CRIMINALS. Dear Sir,—Seeing in the Photographic News of October 12th your comment on a statement in the Daily Telegraph concerning prisoners’ photographs, I beg to sub mit to your notice a few facts regarding prisoners and their portraits. In the first place I must tell you that I held the position of “ photographer ” at Her Majesty’s Gaol of Newgate for several years, and am therefore able to state what I know to be true, and not what I imagine. My sole duty in the office I held was to photograph every prisoner—with a few exceptions for certain offences—who came into the prison committed for trial ; and to identify every prisoner, male or female, whom I had photographed previously, and, after having been acquitted or served their term of imprisonment, were arrested again and committed for trial for another offence ; this being a frequent occurrence, and days, weeks, months, or even years elapsing between the time of their being photographed and their re-arrest. This was not all; my duty was also to recognize every prisoner, if he returned, who had been photographed at Newgate previous to my taking office there, they being individuals! had never seen, and had nothing to go by but their portrait. I say nothing * La Nature. but their portraits—their portrait was everything, as I will presently show, and perhaps if I give some of the details I know connected with criminal photography, it will not only be interesting, but go so far to prove the false notions persons have regarding the same. On commencing my day’s duties at nine a.m. my first step was to enter in my photographic “ Day-Book ” all the names of the prisoners—with their offences—received into the prison the previous evening committed for trial. Having entered all the names, male and female, I sub mitted my book to the Governor, who crossed out such names of prisoners whose offences held them exempt from being photographed by the prison regulations, which were only a few cases. I then spent my time in committing to memory as many as possible of the faces of prisoners whose photographs were under my charge, making references where there were several portraits of one individual—and anything else connected with photography in the prison I thought fit to do, until I commenced taking negatives. 1 then wrote a list of names of the prisoners I desired to photograph, and took it into the prison, that is, where the cells are, and a warder—not necessarily an “ experienced” one, as you state—was “ told-of ” to bring the prisoners out two at a time, as I took two on a 6} by 43 plate. Now, the entire management of the prisoners during their sitting was in my hands, and not the warder's, as your comment infers.* It is the photographer, and not the warder, who is acquainted with the “tricks” of prisoners during their sitting for a photograph. The warder may be up to their “dodges” in the prison, I admit, but while being photo graphed the prisoner was in my hands, the warder acting under my direction. Every prisoner, if possible, was photographed before his trial, if he or she did not object, which they could do if they liked, there being no compul sion to sit until they were convicted. This was done because there was no time, or very little, to take them after their trial, they being sent away very soon after their con viction, and as there were generally sixty or seventy every session, there was no time to be lost, and those acquitted of course would not sit after their acquittal if I did not ob tain their photographs before, this being very essential, as many acquitted prisoners “ turned up ” again and again. Having got their portraits I could then identify them and prove their previous charge, as they would alter their names and declare that they had never been charged before. Ha prisoner refused to be photographed before his trial, he was conducted back to his cell to await his trial; then if he was convicted he was brought out again to sit, and in all probability he would not refuse ; if he did, the Governor would stop him being visited by his friends before he went away, and he would then not be allowed another visit for three or six months, but I never had such a case in my ex perience ; many would refuse to sit before conviction, but never after conviction. When they refused before con viction, it always gave me an idea that they knew some thing about prison rules, and upon searching my “ albums" —if I did not directly recognize them—would often find their photographs, and perhaps several former convictions also, which would be produced against them at their trials, if convicted or without. Old offenders would often be up to this idea, and would not refuse to sit before their trial, for fear of arousing suspicions ; but there were very few who would escape discovery if their photograph was in the prison albums. I very seldom had any trouble with prisoners, and the most violent ones invariably gave me none at all. Some times the crafty, cunning prisoner attempted to distort his features, but when he knew that I observed him (I never took my eyes off him during exposure), he would not attempt it again, and even this occurred very seldom. I did not have to take a second negative, hrough the • The photographer at Millbank happens warder, no other than Corporal Laffeaty, R.E., hibited at the Pall Mall Exhibition.
