Editorial comment for this plate:

ROAD AND RIVER.

THE charming view which embellishes this number of our magazine is from a negative by Mr. Edward H. Graves, of Orange, N. J., who, it will be remembered, made the successful photograph of a palm house which some time ago was presented with THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TIMES. ” This negative,” writes Mr. Graves, “was exposed in an ‘Albion’ camera; was made on a Cramer 50 plate, with a wide-angle lens, smallest stop. It was exposed eight seconds late in the afternoon during the latter part of September, when a yellowish light prevailed. * * * * I am very much pleased with the way that the negative has been reproduced; it certainly reflects great credit upon the Photo-Gravure Company.”
