Good baby pictures like this Speed USE FLASH FOR CU | While babies are among every one’s favorite camera subjects, they are often the most difficult to | photograph well. They have no in- terest in cooperating with the pho- _tographer, move around and change | poses faster than you can think | and seem to know every trick in the book to make it harder to photograph them. Good baby pictures are usually made by leaving the child to his own devices while you quietly stalk i it with your camera always ready. Once the baby has satisfied his curiosity about you and your cam- era, he will forget all about your presence and go busily about the job of being his usual cute self. It is- then up to you to shoot fast whenever you see a good picture, using a high shutter speed to stop even the most fleeting expression. Indoors, artificial lighting is a necessity to enable you to make fast exposures. Floodlights are not entirely satisfactory unless you can CAMERA TOPICS Holden* *Graflex Photo Director Graphic shot by Paul Turner are much easier with flashbulbs for illumination. TE BABY PICTURES the area of their range. Even so, their brightness attracts his atten- tion and may bother weak baby eyes. The heat of the lights and the feeling of being the center of at- tention will also usually make a baby restless and unhappy. Your best bet is to use flash- bulbs. These allow you to wander at will about the house, give ample illumination for fast shutter speeds and work so quickly that the baby is not even conscious of them until the picture is all over. One flashbulb at the camera fis the simplest lighting formula, but will render flat pictures and may cause unpleasant deep shadows. The ideal set-up is to have an as- sistant handle a second extension flash from a point almost at right angles to you and the baby. The baby’s mother is particularly good for this job since she ean attract the baby’s interest from there gnd help lure the baby into the expres- sions and poses you are most anxi- fight a large area since it . too | difficult to keep the baby n ous to photograph. pr | Early Know Your Heirdooms’ CA OO aneelrs__ Story of American Furniture Collecting Antiques in America Author of American Furniture Makers *Reg. U. S. Pat. Off. TWO OF THE OLDEST FORMS of needlework, quilting and patchwork are represented in the colorful bed coverings known as quilts. In Europe and England they were known as early as the 16th Century. Whether the Pilgrims brought any over in their chests or boxes is anybody's guess but quilts were probably part of the effects of the American house- hold almost from the beginning. No examples have survived of course and even those made in the 18th Century are rare. But if one could be found, made for instance, by Priscilla Alden, it would show the same technique as those turned out so plentifully by our great-grand- mothers in the 19th Century. Whatever the type or design, three parts were necessary: top, lining and inter- lining, all made one by finely set stitches in a defi- nite pattern. There were three ways to make the top. It could\consist of a plain piece of cloth with deco- . ration achieved solely by quilting; a plain piece of cloth overlaid with a design of patch- work or applique; Tor blocks of varied size, color and shape. Whole books have been written on "the varied designs of both the pieced and patchwork types. The pieced tops are the least desirable of the three, but they occur in most interesting patterns, such as star, sunburst, and geometric. Absolute poverty of de- sign of course is to be found in the I “crazy quilt” which is pieced from ‘ all sorts and shapes of cloth frag- * ments scrambled tc ‘her in a dizzy whole. ® The patchwork top gave its maker a real chance for artistic expression since it lent itself to a variety of designs, many of them resembling crewel work with cloth instead of . thread used as a medium. Against a white background a decorative motif, ; usually of calico if made between . 1700 and 1870, was appliqued to form either a floral or geometric pattern. The quilt shown here is a combina- . readers may have. C PATCHWORK QUILT OF STAR DESIGN Here against a white background are twelve large and ty-eight small stars made of green, yellow and pink or a top made of cotton print. The conventionalized floral border is done in cloth fragments green with red flowers. This pieced together in 1860, is eight feet long and six feet wide. Early American Quilts tion of both and the floral border distinctly resembles the crewel work seen in early bed hangings. Very fortunate is the owner of that great rarity, the all-white quilt where the only decoration is the quilting. Here every inch of the material was covered with quilting, done in a most intricate pattern and frequently the main motif was brought into re- lief by padding the most prominent features. Such quilts were made in uilt, probably made before the leisurely days of the late 18th and early 19th.Centuries. Much later a machine-made imitation of them appeared. It was known as a Mar- seilles bedspread and was popular during the 1890s and even into the 20th Century. From a decorative point of view, the height of quilt making was reached during the first half of the 19th Century and many fine exam- ples of those years have survived in good condition. As with other forms of folk art, they reflected the politi- cal, economic and social affairs of their time and were named accord- ingly. Such names as Whig Rose, Wagon Tracks, Dolly Madison's Star, Road to California, Texas Star recall events and conditions in American history. Also in the final process of their making they were a fine excuse for that old time social event, the quilting bee. ® Tom Ormsbee will be glad to give specific information about any heirloom To get this free expert identification, write to Tom Ormsbee, { New Canaan, Connecticut, enclosing a clear photograph and description of your i heirloom, a self-addressed-envelope and fifteen cents to cover stenographic costs.
