Notes |
The Globe is indebted to Mr. J. S. Hulett for the photographs of Napanee with which this issue is illustrated. Mr. Hulett has had over 25 years’ experience in the business and now has one of the most extensive studios in the Province. On the ground floor there is a splendid display of the work done by this artist. The first flat is devoted to reception rooms and studio, while the second flat is occupied by the work rooms, where a large staff of skilled hands are kept busily employed in retouching, enlarging and finishing. Mr. Hulett has spared no expense in the fitting up of his studio and he is now prepared to do all styles of work at most reasonable prices. Not only does Mr. Hulett do a large business in ordinary photography, such as cabinets, but he pays special attention to the making of life size crayon portraits. Indeed, his orders in this department come from all parts of the Province. In addition to crayon portraits, Mr. Hulett is prepared to make life sized pictures, finished in Indian ink, oil or water colors. All work is guaranteed strictly first-class. A camera for taking life size photos direct has recently been added to Mr. Hulett’s gallery. It is worthy of special note that there are but few such cameras in Canada, and it certainly speaks well for Mr. Hulett’s enterprise and shows that he is determined to keep in the front rank.
