June 26, 1885.J THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 403 negatives and lantern slides of street scenes taken with the apparatus. Of M. Storm’s (amateur) large frame of various photo graphs, we certainly prefer the harvest groups and rustic bits. M. Bennert, amateur, of Brussels, makes a consider able show of very good carbon work ; the views of the lakes in the higher Alps with natural clouds are particularly successful. Of the amateur exhibits the palm must cer tainly be given to M. Hector Colard, the energetic member of the Belgian Photographic Ascociation, who is represented by three enlargements iu carbon. Of the two landscapes, the one representing a shady glen with rippling water is par ticularly fine. The other picture is both excellent and original, and represents a drawing-room scene tastefully arranged, and showing the window directly facing the lens ; yet the window frame is perfectly reproduced, without any visible solarization ; at the same time, all the surroundings are delightfully softly rendered. We hope shortly to again refer to this picture, but iu the meantime we con gratulate M. Colard on his result. In addition to some good examples of the blue process, M. Kymeulen-Pettens shows a reproduction from a mechanical drawing, in which the lines appear white, while the groundwork is of a dark chocolate tint; no information, however, is given as to how the latter tone is obtained. Among the other exhibits of general interest in this department may be mentioned the photo-mechanical reproductions of MM. E. Aubry, L. Bogaerts et Cie., A. Cadot, Colens, Florimond et Cie., and J. Thoorens; the general studio work of MM. Ed. Lannoy, A. Moraiu, G. Raynaud, and H. Zeyen. Of the apparatus exhibited, the large solar camera designed by the late Dr. Van Monckhoven attracts most attention ; but the cameras and other apparatus exhibited by MM. C. E. Hofmans and A. J. Kramers are worthy of inspection. Before leaving the. Belgian photographic department, we should add that in the exhibition under notice, one is struck with two features, viz., the introduction of carbon printing almost to the total exclusion of the albumen process, and a tendency to the increase of size, the cabinet being, to a large extent, replaced by pictures measuring about seven by five inches. . In the other departments of the exhibition photography is made use of to a very large extent; in fact, quite twenty- five per. cent, of the exhibitors employ photography for illustrative purpose, and in one or two cases we fear it has been employed in a hardly satisfactory way Thus, when the manufacturer is not altogether satisfied with the appearance of his works, instead of having the latter directly photographed, he calls in the aid of an artist, who carefully produces a picture showing the subject under abnormally satisfactory conditions, and then this interest ing production is carefully reduced by the camera. To the public ignorant of photographic details, the deception is complete ; we should remark, however, that such photo graphic results are only shown in one or two cases. In the machinery and electrical departments there is little of photographic interest except a fine series of photo micrographs of diatoms produced by Dr. Henri Van Heurck, the professor and director at the Antwerp Botanical Gardens. In a brochure which the professor has recently published, he lays particular stress on the advan tages of illuminating the object with incandescent electric lamps, and gives preference to Mr.. Stearn’s diminutive Swan lamps as constructed especially for microscopic purposes. When we mention that several of the photo micrographs exhibited represent an amplification of 1,200 diameters, it is hardly necessary to remark that the use of incandescent electric illumination is capable of pro ducing highly satisfactory results. The Belgian educational department consists for the most part of the same exhibits which attracted so much attention at the Health Exhibition last year; but the model chemical laboratory which is here fitted up is worthy of passing notice. The choice of a suitable material for the construction of a dark-room bench presents no serious difficulty, but in a chemical laboratory, where strong acids and other corrosive liquids are frequently spilt, the orthodox wooden bench soon acquires a disreputable appearance. In the model exhibited, the working table is covered with a sheet of enamelled iron, which should withstand the average wear and tear of a laboratory fitting, at the same time always presenting a cleanly appearance. Next week we shall describe the photographic exhibits of the French and other sections. ANOTHER BLOCK PROCESS. BY GEORGE SUTHERLAND, M.A. In the number of the Photographic News for March 27th last appeared, under the above heading, a print from a block photographically produced by a process devised by me, and a few words as to the objects aimed at by this process may not be uninteresting. For years past it has been evident—and the Photographic News was among the very first to recognise the fact—that a wide extension lay before photography in its application to the illustration first of books and magazines, and secondly of ordinary newspapers. It is to the last-named phase of the subject that I have confined my attention. When the general public come to look for photographic prints relating to the news of the day served up after breakfast in the columns of the newspaper, the photographer will then be master of the situation ; even if at first the reproductions are of a comparatively rough nature, the habit of looking for them will grow upon people. In portraiture, the feeling that an illustration is a veritable photograph, and not a transcript of one made with more or less fidelity by an artist or copyist, will give a claim to such reproductions that nothing else could possibly give. When an election takes place every elector will expect to see portraits of the candidates in all the public prints of his neighbourhood. Whatever may be stirring iu any town or village, the services of the photographer will be called in to aid the printer in enlightening and amusing the public. Every entertainment will be followed by the publication of portraits of the performers; every stylish wedding by those of the bride and bridegroom. When anyone dis tinguishes himself or herself, eitherina good or bad way, the camera will at once be called into requisition. The locality of every incident of interest will be duly photographed, and the picture published through the medium of the press. All public celebrities will become familiar to the people as household words. In short, the news photograph will be come as essential to the press as the news paragraph. Keeping this vision of the future before me, I set to work about 1877 or 1878. It is useless to recount the different methods employed ; suffice it to say that I found that for common newspaper work etching of any sort would not be satisfactory. Ordinary newspapers, as most people know, are printed by machines in which the paper is pressed on to the type by means of thick blankets. Un less the depth between the parts intended to catch the ink be very great indeed, the blanket and paper will dip, and there will be a smear. The objection of want of depth was overcome by the de vice of using an impression in tinfoil from a deeply-cut wood engraving capable of printing a very light even tint all in dots. This film, having been made to take the shape of the photo-relief, is gently rubbed so that all high dots become large, and all low ones remain small, and a re production of the surface iu type metal is the desired engraving. This is a rough outline of the process. As newspaper ink is not very fine, the dots must be placed at some distance from one another, and the engraving con sequently cannot be very close in grain. The degree of fineness which is practically attainable will depend chiefly on the character of the newspaper for which it is intended. But another requirement, apparently more difficult of
