Portrait Pieces: However, although a long focal length lens is mandatory, it need not be expensive. The utmost of critical sharpness in a portrait pieces lens is not necessary, or even desired, since considerable diffusion can be tolerated in portrait pieces negatives. Your lens needn't be in a shutter for strictly studio portrait piecess, either. A lens in barrel is perfectly satisfactory, since you can provide yourself with a simple Packard shutter to use behind the lens. Many portrait pieces men actually prefer the Packard to the more costly between-the-lens shutters.
Many of the Sandwich pieces were enriched with political symbols and portrait pieces heads. Ornamental pieces were made to imitate animals. Their cats, dogs, ducks, and setting hens were used as souvenirs and premiums by commercial houses, to be given away with a purchase of goods. Whale-oil lamps, candlesticks, doorknobs, drawer pulls, decanters, mugs, and tableware were also produced in clear glass, cloudy effects, and colors. Jarves also tried at one time to make etched glass patterns. The quality of his ware was good, and much of it was exported to foreign countries. Sandwich glass, although not correctly speaking a Colonial product, is frequently used, due to its informal character, as a decorative accessory in all American period types of rooms.
