It is now generally admitted that for tho produc
tion of a good, reliablo artistic FAMILY POR
TRAIT the Kashlonnblo EDEN PHOTO. STUDIOS,
In Swanston-strect, are unsurpassed. When in the
Block-nrcadi. we did an enormous business, until at
last tho premises became too small, so that we built
our present palatial premises ,in Swanston-strcet,
which are far and away superior to anything of their
kind in Melbourne. We are now "able to exhibit
specimens of our everyday work, and, in consequence
our orders are so increasing until at jest we arc doing
the largest business in Melbourne. As we do not
undertake invitation, actress or any other "deadhead"
work, we have not to make our customers pay for
tho production of such expensive specimens, ahd
consequently our prices aro exceptionally small. For
Instance, you can obtain 12 beautifully enamelled
cnbincte and one enlargement (not uuframcd, but
framed complete), all for 15s. ; while our platino-
type portraits aro exceedingly reasonable.
