The picture which we present to our readers this week ii the work of Mr. Henry B. Vanderveer, who is not unknown as a successful photographer. The scene, taken near Lake Mahopac, N. Y., is typical of country life. A Scovill camera was employed in the making of the negative and the reproduction was entrusted to the Albertype Co.
