Improvement in the Daguerréotype.- M. Jobard, of Brussel, for taking portraits à l’héliographe: - “Paint in dead white the face of the patient; powder his hair, and fix the back of his head between two or three planks solidly attached to the back of an armchair, and wound up with screws! The colour of the flesh, not reflecting sufficiently the rays of light, would require a powerful sun, whereas a whitened face will be reproduced as well as plaster figures by diffused light.”
