3213 Improved Portable Dark Tent, for working the Collodion Process in tlie 

 open country (fig. 2213). 



A good substitute for a dark room has long been a desideratum, and we have 

 much pleasure in submitting the present invention to the notice of photographers 

 generally, as combining all that can be required for the purposes of open-air work 

 enabling them to work with as perfect ease and comfort as in their own laboratory 

 at home. 



The tent consists of a strong box forming a convenient table, mounted upon a 

 firm tripod stand. The lid of the box is hinged, and thrown back at an angle. At 

 each corner of the lid metal rods are fitted into sockets to extend the covering over 

 the head, having also supports at each side, as shown in the engraving (fig. 3213). 

 In the lid is a yellow glass sliding shutter for admitting light, or if pushed back, 

 fresh air to the interior of the tent when desired. This tent has been in practical 

 use for some time, and is found to answer perfectly and fulfil all requirements. 

 The outside measurement, when packed up, is 31 by 21 by 4 ; weight, with stand 

 and covering, 251bs.
