The American annual of photography . STONEWARE. J. A. PAPER PRINTS FROM AUTOCHROMES By J. V. ALTENEDER. HE regret is frequently expressed that paper printsare not possible from aiitochromes, and it is notgenerally known that this can be done.

Wallace have placed the Spectrum plateand their color filters on the market, there appears to be nogood reason why this cannot also be done in color.
