Show iaountlnff Photographs. l'b satisfactory mounting of photographs photo-graphs is a troublesome operation, ano the following suggestion from a contributor con-tributor to Tho Outlook may be of assistance assist-ance to amateurs: "I have found s method by which a photograph or en-graving en-graving can bo mounted on the thinnesi paper without curling or wrinkling. If the picture is a photograph, it should be Vroned out smooth with a hot iron and then trimmed. Mix a little gum arabio in hot water bo as to make a rather thiok mucilage. Place the pic-tire pic-tire on thd page in position and mark Just inside the corners. Remove tho picturo and take somo the nmoilsge on a ruling pen and draw a heavy line of mucilage from one point to another, so as to make a lino of mucilage all around tho place where the picture is to be. As soon as the mucilage is sticky put tho picture in place and a book over It to keep it flat When dry, you will have a smooth mount that will ooi rod." |
