1871 - NEW DISCOVERY IN PHOTOGRAPHYA new process called heliotype, by which photo-graphs can be printed independently of light, and in a permanent style, is attracting attention. It maybe thus briefly described. The photograph is taken on a sheet of gelatine; this sheet is fastened down upon a plate of metal, and after a little preparation, in which sponge and water play a part, can be printed from it as if it were an engraved block. Ordinary printing-ink laid on with a roller is used, and the sheet is printed in an or-dinary printing press, and with a remarkable preserva-tion of the lights and half-tones.

We announce the arrival of Mr H Billington, Photographic Artist, from the studio of Mr A Collins. Mr Billington is prepared to take likenesses of all kinds at his temporary residence next Mr Janson’s hay and corn store. He also purposes taking view of different parts of Gulgong and every house in it, so that the owner can have a photo of his house at a merely nominal cost.
