Eleven of the odd-numbered issues have a frontispiece that is an original photograph mounted on heavy stock. Among the original photographs are an albumen portrait of New York photographer and theosophist Henry J.

Brennan" by Henry J. Newton, who is credited with the invention of the dry plate process used for this photograph. Apparently missing is the portrait of the editor, Charles Chandler, that I know appears as the January 10 frontispiece in some volumes.
