Before starting for his tour, the photographer 
should prepare a good stock of iodized paper.

A small quantity of solution A, is poured on : 
the level sheet of plate glass. On this the paper | 
is lowered (see fig.), and one side suffered to itn-1 
. 
bibe the iodide. When saturated, each piece is 
placed in a large pan of clean water for an hour. 
The prepared sheets may then be hung up to dry, 
and should appear of a bright primrose colour. 
This iodized paper can be placed in a dry port¬ 
folio, and packed up with the tourist's other ap¬ 
paratus in the following manner : —Camera, con¬ 
taining solutions B and C (packed in a large bag 
composed of three thicknesses of yellow calico, 
and at its mouth an elastic ring); Stand ; Plate 
of glass, rather larger than the camera frame; and 
an extra Portfolio. 
Arrived at his destination, the photographer 
unpacks his apparatus by candle light; and having 
placed the preparing glass on a table, pours thereon 
a little of solution b. 
He then suffers a sheet of the iodized paper to 
absorb the solution on its prepared surface. It is 
then pinned up; and, when dry, transferred to a 
dark pocket in the portfolio, which, being encircled 
with an India rubber band, is placed in the calico 
bag, ready for use in the morning. 
If the next day be favourable for the production 
of pictures, the artist sallies forth with camera 
(empty), bag, and stand. On arrival at any choice 
scenery, the tripod is fixed firmly, and the view 
focussed; when a sheet of prepared paper can be 
transferred to the camera frame without exposure 
to actinic light, by means of the yellow bag. 
(N.B.—During this operation beware of bulls.)
