Comments on astronomical symbols, and position of camera when photographing buildings.
Grateful for receipt of JH's Cape Results. Sending photographs by several artists to show that 'knowledge of the art is spreading.'
Thanks for excellent Talbotypes. Notes how few photographs are 'perspective representations on a vertical plane' and suggests how to correct this.
