himself, consequently is not an artist by name alone—at prices which are the lowest compatible with superior work. One of the many<br />

reasons his success is due to is, pos<strong>in</strong>g the subject <strong>in</strong> an easy <strong>and</strong> natural position. Mr. Lundelius seems to have mastered this as<br />

well as all other branches of his profession. His reputation for unrivalled work <strong>in</strong> all departments of the artist-photographer's l<strong>in</strong>e is<br />

unsurpassed <strong>and</strong> well deserved. Lundelius gives his close attention to the needs of his many patrons, <strong>and</strong> his labor cannot be<br />

excelled for truthful del<strong>in</strong>eation, nature, expression, <strong>and</strong> harmony of effects.<br />
