April 9, 1880.] THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 171 “ Now try and count them—bo quick, Do B.,” shouted the august personage. “Two—four—six—eight,” counted De B., when his highness threw a handful of grain into the midst of them, and of a consequence the fowls went every way trying to get at it. “Oh, dear, dear—how they do mix! Un, deux, three, four—(another handful of grain)—oh sacre! I cannot do it! They mix too mosh—far too mosh I” Every failure of the Frenchman was hailed with a roar ing laugh—few remain solemn when princes are amused. When I commenced to plant my tripod and screw on my camera, their attention was drawn towards your humble servant. The august personage threw away all the grain, and, with an eyeglass, commenced to look me over. “ Where have I seen you before ?” he asked. Old Mr. X. had given particular orders with regard to the way we were to answer if we were so honoured as to be addressed by bis Highness. I am afraid 1 forgot his instructions when I bluntly informed his August Highness that he never had the pleasure of beholding my linea ments before. However, his Highness took it all in good part. “ Pleasawh—pleasawh !” he cried. “ Witty dog ! Haw —haw ! Do you think this a good day to be photographed -eh? This question from his August Highness flattered my vanity : he, the Prince! was actually asking Geo’, a ques tion, actually wishing for his opinion. I consequently cast a critical eye around the horizon, and passed my opinion that it was a very fine day for our work, only a little cloudy. “But a—but a ” and his August Highness bestowed a majestic wink upon the surrounding noblemen. “We don’t want you to photograph the clouds ; don’t you know! ” There was such a sally of laughing at this that my mumbled answer about photographing the gods without the clouds was never heard. I must, however, compli ment his August Highness, and thank him, along with the other noblemen, for their good behaviour during my exposure. There was not a solitary movement. But they were full of mischief that morning, and when I politely requested them just to remain for a few seconds in the position I had placed them, so that another negative might be taken, and thus make sure of a good picture, I left them under the impression that they would remain so until Collona appeared with his plate. But I was mistaken. He found them all over the lawn, and had much trouble to get them together. “ De all laugh so, I do not understand 1” explained Collona. But it was soon understood. Collona, as I said, after great trouble, got them in position, and at length pushed his head under the focussing cloth. In a minute he withdrew it, and, whipping out his silk handkerchief, commenced assiduously wiping the lens. Pop goes his head again, while the noble group pass winks to one another, and the Frenchman with the Lord Raglan arm kept suspiciously close to Collona, and, if anything, wore too serious a face. “ I cannot understand,” cried Collona, as he again applied his handkerchief to the lens. “ Dere most be too mosh nitrogen in de atmosphere.” A regular yell from the august personage and the noble men completed Collona’s confusion; when Mr. X., finding that my negative was really a first-class one, hurried down and informed them of it. at the same time signing to the amazed and scientific Collona to join me in the summer house. An apprentice next morning showed me a piece of thick brown paper stuck closely over the inside of the lens. No wonder if Collona could not see to focus. ( To be continued.) At MR. WILLIAM ENGLAND AT ST .JAMES’S SQUARE, NOTTING HILL. When Brown saunters down the Rue de Rhone in Geneva with his hands thrust into the pockets of his tweed suit, proudly conscious that he has done the Swiss tour as it ought to be done, he begins to think about taking something home with him as a souvenir of his mountain trip. He has had his Alpenstock branded from top to bottom with the name of every peak and pass he has visited, so that it now repre sents a capital of some twenty francs, and has weighted his trunk with a mass of curious fossils and stones, which, some how or other, appear less valuable now than when he picked them up on the mountain side ; but he has, so far, purchased nothing to remind him of the snow-hooded peaks and crystalline glaciers he has seen on the “ Continong." In these circumstances Brown is not long in making up his mind, and before many minutes have elapsed he is inside one of the bright stationer’s shops, and putting the question, “ Avey-voos un photographe de la Mare de Glass? ” Brown, of course, means to ask for a photograph, and not a photographer, but, fortunately for him, the shopkeeper understands, and in a little while a magnificent series of Swiss views are at his disposal, from which he may pick and choose. How much clearer and more delicate are the photo graphs than those purchaseable in England !—and they are so cheap, too. Brown makes quite a collection before he leaves the shop; they will astonish Mrs. Brown and the fellows at the club, and no mistake. It is months afterwards, when these same pictures are being examined in Brown’s drawing-room, that a visitor with sharper eyes than usual points out to the travelling Briton, in a corner of the yellow mount, and in very small type, the name of William Eng land. Yes, Mr. William England is probably the largest Conti nental publisher of European views, and here at St. James’s Square, or rather in a compact little establishment at the back of his residence, is the source of all the prints issued in his name. In the summer, Mr. England travels in Switzer land, the Tyrol, and Italy for months together with camera and apparatus, bringing back with him additions to his series of photographs, the names of which fill a good-sized pamphlet. Mr. England confines himself for the most part to views of small size, or, in other words, rarely goes beyond a 10 by 8 plate. His favorite travelling camera is standing in a corner, and he sets it up for our inspection; it will do for stereoscopic pictures, or for whole-plate negatives. “ Here is a simple arrangement for shading the lens,” says Mr. England, and he shows us what appears to be the peak of a cap made of mahogany. We made a rough sketch of this apparatus, and here it is. The front flap measures four inches and the middle flap about three, and the double hinge arrangement permits you to bend down the peak right in front of the lens, if you like, so that you may almost employ it as a cap. But for shading the lens the arrangement is invaluable, and travelling photographers would be wise indeed to adopt so simple a modification to their apparatus. The harmony and delicacy of Mr. England’s landscapes are
