Default supplement...no...cut out of rare book
Posted By: runscott

I promise to quit after this post probably

You could order "reproductions of photographs made by the Burr McIntosh Studio" - 12 1/2 x 7 1/2, matted with Japanese wood veneer and backed, for 25 cents each. Selection was limited, although I'm almost certain I saw an ad mentioning that any plate could be ordered.

In keeping with what you mentioned earlier, they also offered a "passepartout outfit" for 50 cents to "enable anyone to convert the pages of our magazine into beautiful passepartouts in a few minutes".

So the Burr McIntosh pages are "passepartouts" ! I guess I will start using that in my descriptions...NOT
