ABSTRACT
In photography, as in all other industrial and artistic pursuits, certain apparatus, or tools, are needed to produce a picture; some you can buy; others, with but little labor and ingenuity, you can make. This lesson is written to inform you of those tools which you must have, and leaves to your own judgement the purchase of those which, though not absolutely necessary, are, nevertheless, of considerable comfort in carrying forward the various operations through which you are to be led.
