Messrs. Cazneau and Conolly (sic), photographic artists, to-day opened their new establishment, in premises on Lambton Quay, formerly occupied by Professor Augustus as a hair-dressing saloon. The premises have been re-arranged internally under the superintendence of Mr. Chatfield, architect, and have been rendered in every way suitable for the carrying on of a photographer's business.

Entering the establishment by the main entrance, the visitor finds himself in a large room, fitted with elegant show cases, &c, with a small office situated in a convenient corner. This room it is contemplated to utilise for the purposes of an art gallery, and, when completed, will be lighted up on certain nights for public inspection.

From this access is obtained to a ladies' waiting-room, a handsome, splendidly furnished apartment, and the ladies' dressingroom. Upstairs is the gentlemen's dressingroom. Here, also, at the back, is situated the studio, which measures 17ft in width and 46ft in length. It is replete with all the newest accessories, and is illuminated with pure South light, considered so essential for successful operations.

The firm possesses the latest photographic apparatus, including a camera capable of taking by the direct process photographs as large as twenty inches square. There are also a printing room, "dark" room, enamelling room, and general work room for mounting, rolling, &c. The verandah in front presents a very fine appearance, having been nicely painted and decorated. Mr. Ransom, we understand, has supplied the shop and other fittings, while the painting, &c., has been done by Mr. Uridge.
