Abstract

(1) ABOUT this time of the year nearly every photographer places on his bookshelf the 1912 edition of his B.J. Year Book, probably well ear- and thumb-marked, and becomes possessor of the 1913 issue, a volume of about equal size and weight. The current work, which is the fifty-second issue, covers 1448 pages, but of these about two-thirds are advertisements, and, as experience has shown, are most useful to both professional and amateur photographers. While the general contents of this well-known annual need no special reference, some notable items in the present issue deal with the important subject of the fitting up of the dark-room by the editor, an excellent and thoroughly practical article on methods of telephotography by Capt. Owen Wheeler, and 120 hints in picture form of “how to do it,” being a useful set of wrinkles for the beginner
