Photographic Advice, Kelly Optical Co. (New York, NY), undated c. 1898, ~7 ½"x5 ½", 48pp

The advice in the title refers to the detailed instruction in how to expose, develop and print photographs.  Approximately the last half of the booklet is a catalog of Scovill and E. & H.T. Anthony products.  The booklet appears to be undated, but also it appears that the leaf on which pages 1 and 2 were printed has been neatly cut out, leaving a 1" stub; the date may have been on one of those two pages.  Regardless, the booklet can be dated rather closely because of the presence of the Klondyke Camera (page 25) within its pages.  As might be surmised from the name, the Klondyke was named after the Klondyke Gold Rush of 1898, and was only produced 1898-1899.  Therefore, this catalog is listed as c. 1898.

LP411 is the same title, 48pp; greenish cover.
LP873 is the same title, 84pp; cream cover.
LP976 is the same title, 64pp; greenish cover.
