There are few advertisements and catalogue entries for the Lucidograph. The
whole-plate format does not appear in catalogue references until sometime after
1887, when the company moved and renamed "The Blair Camera Company."

Left: 1890 Oscar Foss catalogue reference. This engraving is identical to one appearing in the Blair Camera Company catalogue.
