Ulk hl tbe Studio. PHOTOGRAPIIIC Piracy.—On the 4th inst., at Clerkenwell Police Court, William Luff, a photographic artist, residing at 325, City Road, was summoned before Mr. Barker, at the instance of Mr. Ferdinand Joubert, to answer the following complaint: “For that you, on the 17th day of January, not being the pro prietor of copyright in a certain photograph, to wit of a photo graph of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, did unlawfully sell and offer for sale a copy or colourable imitation of the said photo graph, without the consent of the said Ferdinand Joubert, the proprietor of the subsisting copyright in such photograph, and knowing that the said copy of such photograph hail been unlaw fully made contrary to the statute,” &c. A gentleman from the office of Mr. Bowen May, solicitor for the prosecutor, said it was not intended to proceed with the case, as the defendant had signed the following declaration : “ Mr. Joubert,— In considera tion of your releasing me from the payment of any but 40s. damages towards the expenses of my solicitor, I promise never to offend again by selling any more printed copies of your photographs, and, if I break this engagement, I promise to pay you fifty pounds, by way of liquidated damages ; and I declare I am not aware where I purchased the printed copies of the distinguished persons I have copied; and I also declare that I have no other copies than those handed to your solicitor. William Luff. Witness, J. Bowen May, 67, Russell-square." Photography and the Royal WEDDIXG.—Public celebra tions in our day are perpetuated by an unerring recorder which the grandest pageants of olden times lacked. Photography is the sworn witness of all public spectacles, and has been very active in all the recent public ceremonials. Many scores of brass tubes took aim at the youthful and fair Dano, who having before invaded many loyal hearts, came on Saturday to take possession of her conquest. Mr. Francis Bedford and Mr. Downes were at Gravesend to photograph the arrival; Mr Blanchard took some instantaneous stereo negatives of the same ceremony. Many others were engaged in London, with what success we have not heard. The ubiquitous photographer even found his way into St. George’s Chapel, at Windsor, to record the wedding ceremony, Mr. Vernon Heath having, we believe, been honoured with that commission. Not least attractive amongst the many tastefully decorated buildings in the city on Saturday was the Photographic Warehouse of Messrs. Henry Squire and Co., in King William Street, the noble circular front of the building having a fine balcony erected and orna mented with great taste. The warehouse was for the nonce turned into a theatre, with tier above tier of seats, accommodating a hundred persons with a most excellent view of the procession. Mr. Squire had issued photographic tickets, containing portraits of the Prince and Princess, inviting a large number of friends connected with literature, photography, and art, to witness the spectacle. When it had passed, it was announced that a successful instantaneous negative had been obtained from the top of the building, prints from which would be placed in the hand of each guest as a souvenir of the occasion. Of the other interesting parts of the entertainment offered to the guests, in which both wet and dry processes were tried, plates coated and cleaned with amazing rapidity, it is unnecessary to speak here. We need only add, having our selves been present, that the results were most satisfactory. Wo learned, from the long examination which a pause in the procession afforded us opportunity for, that tbe numerous photographs which have crowded shop windows, have not done the young Princess anything like justice. Her fair hair, brilliantly rosy complexion, and the winning grace which lights up her delicate features of pure Scandinavian type, are not fairly rendered in any portrait we have seen. U0 Ooxxespondents. q F. R.—The first application of albumen and gelatine in combination with a bichromate for the purposes of photolithography of which we have any record was made by Mr. Osborne, who used it in 1859. The process is not protected by patent, and you may use it without let or hindrance. The fact that it is included in a patent by no means implies the validity of the patent. Nine-tenths of the photographic patents, indeed, a large propor tion of the existing patents of all kinds, would be proved invalid if brought to the test of law. JI. L.—Unless the paper be good in itself it cannot give good results when albumenized, we have seen some samples of Saxe paper with streaks or bands which were unusually absorbent, such paper would inevitably give imperfect results even when albumenized. In the case you describe another sample of paper is the only remedy. J. W.—A yard only 20 feet by 15 feet in dimensions, surrounded by walls, the lowest of which is 15 feet high, is a rather unpromising place for photographic portraits. The only mode of preventing the undue action of top light will be to place a screen over-head, so that all light shall be cut off which does not reach the sitter at an angle of 45°. S. M. Tod.—Your design for a cometless collodion bottle is doubtless inge nious, but as the sediment generally possesses a greater specific gravity than the collodion, it would be apt to flow from the bottom the moment the bottom of the bottle was elevated in the act of pouring.- Mr. Wright.—Vignette photographs are almost as old as photography itself, and were occasionally produced on the Daguerreotype plate before the collodion process was discovered. Mr. Harmer has not, that we know of, made any claim for the invention of vignettes, nor even of the mode of double printing he has* worked with such skill. The plan of double printing Mr. Harmer unquestionably was the first to carry out to the same degree of perfection, but in its simpler forms it had been practised for many years. We must demur to the claim of priority or superior excellence you make for Mr. Watson, unless substantiated by proof. S. W., Dudley.—In photographing engraved or cut-glass vessels you can get the same effects upon your plate which you can see with your own eyes; but if the vessels be transparent you can necessarily see through them to some extent, so that the cutting of the far side, as well as that which is nearest the eye will be seen. If you wish the front of each decanter only to be photographed, it will be necessary to cover or conceal by some means the other side. The best mode of lighting will be to place them at some distance from a window, so that the direct light reaching them may be tolerably well diffused, to give ajsoft light on one side and a soft shadow on the other. Use a bromo-iodized collodion, expose sufficiently long, and develop with iron. A Young Photo.—In making collodion, proceed in the following order, for, say 4 ounces :—Take 16 grains of soluble cotton, place them in your 4-ounce bottle, and add 1 ounce of alcohol, sp. gr. 820. Next take 8 grains of iodide of cadmium, 8 grains of iodide of ammonium, and 4 grains of bromide of cadmium ; dissolve these in 1 ounce of alcohol of the strength before mentioned. When these are dissolved, filter the solution into the bottle containing the cotton and alcohol. Shake until the cotton is well saturated, then add 2 ounces of pure sulphuric ether; shake until all is dissolved. Then let the collodion stand for 24 hours, when it will probably be fit for use, and will be very sensitive. In making larger quantities, it is better not to add the iodizing solution until the normal collodion has been decanted from any sediment. Subscriber T.—Acetate of soda is soluble in three parts of cold water; a saturated solution would consist, therefore, of one ounce in three ounces of water, a strength unnecessary in photographic operations. 2. Sulphuric acid which has become black has come in contact with organic matter ; it may still be used for some purposes without disadvantage, but you cannot undertake to purify it. 3. Citric acid, when added to the printing bath to remove the colour, is used in no larger quantity than is just necessary to cause a slight precipitate, as, being tribasic, it rapidly wastes silver. 4. Sulphide of potassium added to a hypo bath for precipitating the silver is added until there is no further precipitate thrown down, the quantity necessary being determined by the amount of silver present. 5. Bicarbo nate of soda is soluble in ten parts of water, therefore, 3 drachms will re quire 4} ounces of water to dissolve all. 6. The same principle applies here ; you attempt to dissolve a substancejin less water than is necessary for its solution ; phosphate of soda is soluble in 4 parts of water, and, therefore, 5 drachms would require at least 2} ounces of water to dissolve all, whilst you have only used 2 ounces. 7. Sulphide of potassium is used to precipitate the gold from a hypo bath ; protosulphate of iron from an alkaline toning bath. Notting Hill Photographers.—We always feel pleasure in advocating the interests of every class of photographic operatives ; but we must remind our readers that the bargain between employers and employed, whether it refer to the hours of labour, the work done, or remuneration received, is entirely a personal question between the parties to the contract. We strongly recommend liberality to employers as good policy, and because photography is generally sufficiently remunerative to justify liberality. But on the other hand it should be borne in mind that in winter a photo grapher’s working hours arc necessarily short, and that no available light should be wasted in summer. We do not think there is much danger of over-work or under pay in the present state of the profession, inasmuch as the market is not so much stocked with thoroughly skilled workmen to induce any of them to accept injustice. Where there is a good demand for any class of labour it will always command a fair price for reasonable hours. An employer who, under such circumstances, attempted to grind his people would soon find them leaving him for more liberal employers. Whatever grievance of this kind exists must soon right itself. We cannot offer a more definite opinion without knowing more of the circumstances, and hearing the case stated by both sides. II. D. O’Donnell.—The note and cash received.
