T)OSS'S PHOTOGRAPHIC 



ill PORTRAIT AND LANDSCAPE 

 LENSES.— These lenses give correct definition 

 at the centre and margin of the picture, and 

 have their visual and chemical acting foci 

 coincident. 



Great Exhibition Jurors' Reports, p. 274. 



" Mr. Ross prepares lenses for Portraiture 

 having the ereatest intensity yet produced, by 

 procurinz the coincidence of the chemical ac- 

 tinic and visual rays. The spherical aberra- 

 tion is also very carefully corrected, both in the 

 central and oblique pencils." 



" Mr. Ross has exhibited the best Camera in 

 the Exhibition. It is furnished with a double 

 achromatic object-lens, about three inches 

 aperture. There is no stop, the field is flat, and 

 the image very perfect up to the edge." 



A. R. invites those interested in the art to

 improved Metallic Springs ; Ventilating Fronts,

 colour, can have it applied, free of any charge,

THE XYLO-IODIDE OF 

 SILVER, prepared solely by R. W. 

 THOMAS, has now obtained a European 

 ffeme ; it supersedes the use of all other pre- 

 parations of Collodion. Witness the subjoined 

 Testimonial. 



" 122. Regent Street. 

 "DearSir, — In answer to yonr inquiry of 

 this morning, I have no hesitation in sayiug 

 that your preparation of Collodion is incom- 

 parably better and more sensitive than all the 

 advertised CoUodio-Iodides, which, for my 

 professional purposes, are quite useless when 

 compared to yours. 



" I remain, dear Sir, 



" Yours faithfully, 



"N. Henneman. 

 Aug. 30. 1852. 

 To Mr. R. W. Thomas." 



MR. R. W. THOM.\S bcjgs most earnestly to 

 caution photographers against purchasing im- 

 pure chemicals, which are now too frequently 

 sold at very low prices. It is to this cause nearly 

 always that their labours are unattended with 

 success. 



Chemicals of absolute purity, esnecially pre- 

 pared for this art, may be obtained from R. W. 

 THOMAS, Chemist and Professor of Photo- 

 graphy, 10. Pall Mall. 



N.B. — The name of Mr. T.'s preparation, 

 Xylo-Iodide of Silver, is made use of by un- 

 principled persons. To prevent imposition each 

 bottle is stamped with a red label bearing the 

 maker's signature.
