shown in this salon. The extreme of
"fuzzy" pictures is shown, and also ar
tistic pictures with sharp lines and con
trasts, and all manner of prints, from
sliver prints to carbons, and the rough
gum bichromates. There are pictures
which all will admire, and there are pic
tures which all -will wonder that they
were accepted in such an exhibit. Some
are so remarkably In composition that
the layman will have doubts as to their
being- photographs, and will suspect that
fine paintings have been copied.
