GEO. ROWNEY & CO.'S ARTISTS' WATER COLOURS Are ground finer than other makers' and flow more evenly without granulation. The colours go farther, and therefore are the most economical in the end. ASK FOR ROWNEY'S ARTISTS' COLOURS, and should you find any difficulty in obtaining them, write direct to the manufacturers— GEO. ROWNEY & CO. 61 Brompton Road, LONDON, S.W. REEVES' ARTISTS' COLOURS ARE MANUFACTURED FOR ARTISTS (not Amateurs); THE PROCESSES ARE SUPERVISED BY CHEMISTS TRAINED SPECIALLY IN THE PREPARATION OF ARTISTS' COLOURS; THE COLOURS ARE TESTED AND REPORTED UPON BY ARTISTS. THIS IS WHY REEVES' ARTISTS' COLOURS ARE SUPERIOR TO THOSE MADE PRINCIPALLY FOR AMATEUR USE—SUPERIOR IN STRENGTH, IN TONE, IN QUALITY, IN PERMANENCE. REEVES & SONS HAVE NO SECRETS FROM GENUINE ARTISTS, BUT GIVE FULL INFORMATION. AD. I

ART AND THE CAMERA. By ANTONY GUEST. WITH FORTY-NINE ILLUSTRATIONS. FIRST OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "If there be any who still doubt the relationship between art and the camera, Mr. Guest's book should be strong to convince them of their error. . . . The book cannot be read without realisation of the great possibilities of photography. It should be studied by amateurs and professionals alike."—Standard. "The possibilities of artistic work and expression afforded by photography are here treated in a thoughtful and suggestive way." —Times. "It is suggestive in no common degree as showing how the practice of photography can be improved by a study of the spirit of the great masters of painting, and how an artistically controlled imagination may work with the mechanism of lenses, plates, and chemicals to effects hardly distinguishable from those wrought in the more elusive material of palette knives and pigments. The book deserves the attention of all photographers who wish to improve their tastes."—Scotsman. Write for an Illustrated Prospectus, which will be sent post free on application.
