Business Notices PHOTOGRAPH Y. fOMPAN v . LTMITBD. THE L EADING PHOTOGRAPHERS OF CHRISTCHURCH, Are now taking ONE DOZEN BEAUTIFULLY ENAMELLED CABI NETS IN ANY STYLE OR POSITION FOR 15s. nriHE following is a short description of 1 _1_ the Christchurch Establishment, which is admitted even by the photographic profession to be the best apl pointed and most luxurious Photographic Studio in New Zealand. The front of the building is a picture in itself, the walls are handsomely painted, while on the j four front windows are depicted four of the principal New Zealand scenes. These 1 are painted on the glass in transparent oils, and are paintings of the highest order, attracting the attention of passers by. Inside the tesselated vestibule which is handsomely fitted with cedar show cases, the work of the firm is shown. It would be difficult to imagine more beautiful and successful specimens of the Photographer's art than the portraits of the Rev. Chas. Clark, J. J. Toole, Esq., Bishop Julius, and Lord Onslow, while the portrait of SirWm. Jervols reminds us of the stately and military form of our late Governor. It is needless to say that < the works surrounding these well-known, portraits are a clear evidence that special reliance can be placed in the Eden George Co., Limited, for all kinds of photo- ; graphic work. As is usual with some firms who make . all their show on the outside one naturally thinks that all beauty leads here, but not so, for on ascending a handsomely brass mounted staircase one is landed into such a lovely furnished drawing room that the hap in tuitiTely leaves the head, while there is almost an irresistable feeling to remove the boots for fear of spoiling the beautiful carpets. Off this room are separate dressing rooms for ladies and gentlemen. Both are exquisitely furnished, but the ladies , boudqir surpasses all. To describe the extravagant furnishings of this room would be impossible. It is gratifying to find the firm who are taking so much of the Christ; church money spending no large a sum annually that it must cost to keep up this style. The gallery, which is of the latest improved principle, is a spacious compart, ment, 40 by 20. The great variety of back* grounds and accessories demonstrate the fact that the firm are determined not to have the similarity in their portraits as is such a great objection with other photographers. At' the back are three large I workrooms, each 30ft. Here twenty-seven assistants are at work, while the benches are literally crowded with photographs. Marble slabs are used in these taoms to ensure cleanliness, while a No. i ram and I gas engine drive the water from a second strata well up to the tanks above, so that an'ample supply is obtainable for the washinff of prints after each manlpulatiop. It is now easily seen why such ; large numbers go to the studio of the ! Eden George Co., Ltd., when one can I enjoy the beauty of their furnishing?, the perfection of their appointments, and io addition secure one dozen beautifully enamelled cabinets for- Ids; finished Iα a style absolutely unsurpassable. The Eden George Co., Ltd., are now executing a splendid 15 by 12 Enlargement on Opal for £3 3s. Owiop to the tremendous business doing this season, the taking of Midget photos is suspended until further notice. A fresh show of 15 by 12 Opals finished udder the Deposit Ticket system will be made each Saturday night in the entrance. COMPANY, LIMITED, WHEN YOU.
