HARD WICKE'S SCIENCE-GOSSIP. 



Ixxvii 



HAVE YOU READ THIS ? 



IT is admitted by all disinterested photographers of experience that I have produced the most practical Hand 

 Camera ever offered. It is not a Magazine, and has, therefore, not the intricacy of a sewing machine, because 

 such is not required. It is a straightforward, common-sense apparatus for a certain purpose, viz., "Snap Shot" 

 Photography ; and at the same time equally suitable for use as an ordinary camera for time exposures when mounted 

 on a tripod, etc. 



By not being a Magazine it has the merit of simplicity, and by being provided with Scott's Patent Dark Slides it 

 has the virtue of ejficiency, besides other advantages, such as portability, lightness, etc., etc. (and these are not all ; 

 you must read the pamphlet). 



But just try and think of the scores of times a Hand Camera is required for perhaps two or three exposures only. 

 With this Camera, two or three, four or five, or six plates may be carried in the pocket as little memorandum books, 

 a neat little case carries 12 Dark Slides, and we can sally forth with a perfect little instrument no bigger than a cigar 

 box. But with a Magazine Camera we must trudge off with the whole affair, sometimes as big as a portmanteau, for 

 the sake of one or two exposures, and to change the plates, we must set some machinery in motion, " turn this 

 button first, push up this knob and release that spring," and adjust the whole so carefully, or it won't go. " Hold it 

 quite level, then turn the whole thing over," or fiddle about with a black bag, and so on, and so 'on. In fact, the 

 whole thing is too ridiculous in the face of a simpler method. 



My method of holding a Hand Camera — viz., under the chin — has, since it was first published in the British 

 Journal of Photography, met with such approval, that there can be little doubt it will become universal. It was 

 only one of the common-sense ideas connected with my Camera.
