LEVY'S EMULSION PLATES.
A Letter from Mr. Levy.
A GREAT trouble with emulsions having always been found in their liability to lift partly or wholly from the plate, especially after the fixing, I manufactured an improved edging fluid, which is now largely used and pronounced invaluable. Blisters, however, often present themselves in centre of plates, the prevention or removal of which has hitherto in vain been attempted. I am now able to offer a cure for the same, as simple as it is perfect and complete, and would acknowledge my indebtedness for the same to my friend, Dr. J. J. Higgins, of this city, who uses my plates largely and with so great success.
Cleaning and talcing the plate, I edge it before the flowing of the emulsion, and again after it is dried, if used for dry plates.
After exposure, developing, and fixing, I wash the plate thoroughly with water, not minding the blisters at all, as the film will not lift from the edges ; then laying my negative flat on the table, I cover the film with an ordinary sheet of writing-paper, somewhat larger than my plate, and holding it on one edge (so that it shall not slip), with the finger over the paper, I push all the blisters out through the opposite edge from where the paper is held. Although not indispensable, it is as well to make a few pinholes on the edge, to allow the water present under the film to come out the more easily. Instead of the finger a small roller may do it yet more evenly. Lifting then the paper up gently, the negative, without further washing, is set up to dry. In case of dust having settled on the film by carelessly using paper not previously dusted, it can be removed with a camel's-hair brush, after the film is dry, without danger.
Hoping the above may prove of benefit to some of your readers
I am, yours truly,
A. Levy,

P. S. — The run being now for rapidity, without laying any claim to " lightning," I am glad to be able to say that with my emulsion dry plates, as made by me or by others with my emulsion and preservative, well lighted views can be taken with an ordinary Darlot lens (portrait) in one-twelfth of a second, by using the developer usually directed by me, but of double strength, e.g.,

EMULSION PHOTOGRAPHIQUE FRANGAISE
Albert Levy, 77 University Place,
Sole Proprietor. New York, June 14th, 1878. Having been trying for the past two or three years to find Dry Plates which were sensitive and reliable, I am well pleased to be able at the present time to get any of my amateur photographic friends out of the fog, and show them the means of obtaining Dry Plates which work well and reliable in all places and weather, and require no art or cleverness to produce good, clear negatives, vigorous and brilliant prints.
I purchased of Mr. Albert Levy one dozen of his Dry Plates on trial, and the result so far exceeded my expectations that I really began to think that I was a photographer, forgetting it was the plates and not the man. I have long ago discontinued using bath plates, and all other plates or emulsion except his, and have invariably found them to work the same.
Yours, etc., H. W. Wickham,
