HOW TO MAKE " EGYPTIAN PHOTOGRAPHS." BY MRS. E. N. LOCKWOOD, Ripon, Wis. FEW years ago we recommended the making of what we styled " Egyptian photos.," as a good way to keep up prices when others were making the usual styles for very low rates. We received $6.00 per dozen while others were only getting $4.00 per dozen for cabinets; and we have found it helps us now to maintain $4.00 and $5.00 when others in the same place and adjoining towns are getting only $5.00 per dozen. People come from far and near for these photos., and are better pleased, as a general rule, with dark-background pictures than any other. First, because less common. Second, more flattering (especially for light-complexioned and light-eyed people). Third, more durable and effective.
