Dry mounting is a clean and effective method to mountprints and keep the print from curling, but it is not such aneasy method to do satisfactorily with the ordinary sad ironswhich are recommended, when one cannot afford the ex-pensive press used for the purpose.

Dealers in household goodssell soap stone griddles at a small cost, or your plumber maygive you a piece from a broken wash tub which can be cutinto shape with an old saw. Prepare the print for mounting in the usual way and heatthe soap stone in an oven to the right temperature, lay mountand print on a flat surface and place the hot slab on top ofprint with a piece of paper between, and in a few minutes itmay be removed.

Adolph F. Muhr immigrated to the United States in 1857 and settled in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Muhr was a self-taught photographer who began his career as a portrait photographer in the late 1860s. In 1872, Muhr moved to Chicago and opened his own photographic studio, specialising in architectural and landscape photography. He quickly gained a reputation for the quality of his work and was commissioned to photograph many of the city's most prominent buildings and landmarks. Muhr's photographs were highly detailed and technically precise, capturing the intricate details of buildings and landscapes with a clarity that was rare for the time. He was also known for his innovative use of light and shadow, which gave his photographs a dramatic and atmospheric quality. Muhr's work was widely published in books and magazines, and he received numerous awards and honours throughout his career. He died in 1911, leaving a legacy as one of the most important American photographers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
