Reprint of the original, first published in 1883.

Excerpt from How to Paint Photographs in Water Colors and in Oil: How to Work in Crayon, Make the Chromo-Photograph, Retouch Negatives and Instructions in Ceramic Painting In transferring the publication of another edition of my book from Philadelphia to New York, I do so with the confident expectation that I am accepting a rare opportunity for extending it to a larger field of usefulness. The dissemination of previous editions having been confined more especially to the photographic sphere, it has been felt that the merits of die work - hitherto so freely acknowledged and endorsed by our generous fraternity - were yet to be known and appreciated by the book-buying public in general. In harmony with this change of publishers, I have made numerous alterations and improvements in the book itself; sparing neither time nor labor in my endeavor to keep it in the front rank of excellence. Not a line of it has escaped careful revision; the entire text has been re-arranged; new topics have been inserted; and the whole enlarged' by many additional pages of useful matter.
