OPINIONS OF TOE PRESS. Taranaki Herald, December 14 : — " Tha specimens sent are so exquisitely soft in tint, and the iigures so artistically poafid, that they liavt* tho appearance of mezzo-tinto engravings, splendidly esocuted, and printed on au opal surface. The prose in all parts of tho colony speak in the highest terms of this ' new process,' but so beautiful are tho pictures, that none of the newspapers, wo consider, have been able to do full justice to their merits." New Zealanrl Ilerald (Auckland), Nov 29. — " The delicate pearly surfuce given to tho pictures by tho now process is very pleasing, and a new departure from the old style. Thero is every reason to believe that the clear Opal Type will come into popular favor, as bein^ a great improvement on all other methods of silver piinting. Tho new photos require only to be i seen to be appreciated." j Marlborough Express, Nov. 27. — " We have no hesitation in saying that the MattOpiil Typ° will revolutionise photography, and be universally adopted." j Otago Daily Times, Nov. 26. — "'There is little doubt the lirin have made an important discovery."
