Different Sepia Toned Photographs
Sepia is a dark brown ink or pigment that is secreted by a cuttlefish found in the English Channel. It was used chiefly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to give photographic prints a warmer tone. The Diana is the only known Avery needle case with a variety of sepia prints which are inserted into the brass frame on its front.
Photographs of the sepia variations listed below can be found on our individual Avery needle case web pages. To see these photographs, select the Master List option from the menu bar at the top of this page. Then select the appropriate needle case type which will provide you with links to the individual needle case pages. However we may not have photos of all of these which is why we need your help. If you have a needle case with one of these variations that doesn’t include a photo, or know of someone who has it, or have a new variation, please contact us so we can work with you to obtain a photograph.
