496 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. LAugust 3, 1883. decided practical advance in photo-mechanical printing. Crys- toleum pictures and materials for making them are shown by several firms, and although the small pictures are in most cases passable, it seems to us that the large ones look vulgar and in artistic, recalling to mind the paintings which adorned the earlier American clocks. Treneman and Co. exhibit a well- selected assortment of plain and coloured photographic scraps mounted as Christmas and New Year cards. The corrugated paper packing shown by Messrs. Thompson and Norris is likely to be useful to the photographic tourist, or to those who may have occasion to pack negatives for transmission to a distance. Nottage and Kennard v. Jackson.—Judgment was delivered yesterday morning in this case. The plaintiffs (the London Stereoscopic Company) sued the defendant for the alleged in fringement of their copyright in a photograph of the Australian Cricket Team. The defendant disputed the plaintiffs’ title, on the ground that they were not the registered “authors” under the Copyright Act, and that the “ author ” was the artist who took the negative at Kennington Oval. The Master of the Rolls said that the matter turned upon the meaning of the word “author,” in the Copyright Act, 1862. The plaintiffs had registered themselves as the “authors,” as well as the proprie tors, and if they were not the “ authors,” the copyright did not exist. The construction of the Act was a matter of the greatest difficulty, on account of the strange phraseology employed, and it was a subject for speculation whether the draughtsman had ever cleared his mind upon the effect of his words so far as concerned photographs. The present case illustrated one of the difficulties, for if the plaintiffs were right, then the copyright would continue, not for the life of one person, as intended by the Act, but for the life of the survivor of them. The proprietor of a photographic establish ment might never interefere in any way with the taking of a photograph, and might not even go to his shop. Was he then to be held to be the author because he paid the rent of the shop, and the wages of his employes, and furnished the camera and materials ? Then, on the other hand, it seldom happened that a single person conducted the whole operation; and, indeed, the sum was a not un important factor. The coaclusion at which his Lordship had, with difficulty, arrived was, that the “ author ” was he who was most nearly and effectively the cause of the picture which was produced, that was to say, the actual superintendent of the operation itself. That was a question of fact in each case, and in the present case it was enough to say that, applying that principle of construction, Messrs. Nottage and Kennard were clearly not the authors, and their registration was bad. He thereforer agreed with Mr. J ustice Field, that the plaintiffs had no copyright in the photograph in question, and the defendant was entitled to j ndgment. The result was that the great photographers, if they would protect themselves, must either personally superintend operations, or, if they could only act through their employes, should engage men with good lives, so as to get the full benefit of the copyright. Lords Justices Cotton and Bowen gave j adgments to the same effect, and the plaintiffs’ appeal was consequently dismissed with costs. Photographic Club.—At the next meeting, on August 8, the subject for discussion will be, “ On the development of plates having received a minimum exposure.” An out-door meeting has been organised for the Bank Holiday, August 6 th, to proceed to Gomshall. Train leaves Charing Cross at 11’5, and London Bridge at 11’18. 0 Goxxesgondents. #,* We cannot undertake to return rejected communications. G. F. Webber.—1. All thsse difficulties to which you allude may be overcome by so placing it that the flaps shall rather lay over the openings than fit in. There is, however, no reason why they should not be made of metal. 2. The complex device referred to will rather hinder the draught than assist it, a plain opening being the best possible arrangement; and only so mueb covering being desirable as is absolutely necessary for the exclu sion of rain. 3. This appears to us actually worse than your friend’s design ; but something similar is useful if driven by inde pendent power, as, for example, a steam engine. II. S.—We will consider the matter, but we fear that it would only prove useful to a very small proportion of our readers. William R. CRICHTOX.—It appears to us that you have not only over-exposed very considerably, but also worked in far too actinic a light. Reduce your exposure, and add a thickness of cherry fabric to the covering of your darkroom window. A. G. (Amsterdam).—1. Write the inscription with stiff Indian ink on the varnished surface ; but in this case you must learn to wr.te Lackwards. 2. Print the title from type on slightly damp tissue paper, taking care that plenty of ink is used. Lay the print, face downwards, on the varnished surface, cover with a sheet of stiff paper, and establish contact by repeated pressure with the finger. Now moisten the paper, when it can be removed without difficulty. Time must be allowed for the printing ink to dry, and you would do well to experiment on a waste negative first. S. S. Wilkins.—It is old—indeed, very old ; we re-described it in the News, together with some suggestions for adapting to the wants of the present day, and others have since alluded to it as a novelty. W. H. W.—We will bear the matter in mind. Thanks. T. Fernley.—J. It is very evident that the gelatinous coating of the tissue has become insoluble; that is to say, time and moisture have brought about just that same kind of change which takes place when the film is exposed to the light. Bichromated gela tine can be preserved in an unaltered condition for a long time if all traces of moisture are absent. 2. They appeared to us rather to be particles enclosed between the film and the transfer paper, than foreign bodies originally present in the tissue. Filter the water. 3. The collodion film is almost invariably discoloured to a certain extent, and we know of no means by which this can be altogether avoided. 4. Squeegee the wet print, face downwards, on a sheet of grained zinc, the metal being very slightly waxed. C. Jervis.—The glass contains lead, and this has united with some of the sulphur of the ammonium sulphide, black sulphide of lead being formed. Pyro.—Use hot water. Lyndhurst.—Two exposures appear to have been made on the large plate. Examine the negative carefully, and you will pro bably recognise the locality represented by the fainter image, which in reality covers the whole of the plate. You appear only to have noticed the prominent white object to which you refer. Alfred Baines.—1. Line the box with tin-plate or zinc. 2. Glass is to be preferred, but you will probably find no mischief to arise from the use of earthenware, unless the glaze becomes cracked. Wanderer.—It is a true image of the sun, and its shape is quite independant of that of the aperture through which the light passes. During an eclipse, this is well illustrated, as each spot faithfully represents the partially covered disc. M. Bancroft.—1. Dry carbonate of soda obtained by baking washing soda in an oven. 2. Two-thirds of its weight is sufficient in any case. 3. Unless the quantity is very large, you had better mix them together. D. F. L.—It can be waterproofed very satisfactorily with ordinary boiled linseed oil ; but there is a tendency for the fibres to 1ot under the influence of the oil. Simple soaking in paraffine will not answer unless the texture of the cloth is very fine. Indignant.—Your customer is nevertheless right, and you will subject yourself to a penalty if you sell or otherwise dispose of copies. John Caulford.—1. It is a difficulty which not unfrequently arises ; but immersion in alcohol is generally sufficient. Norman May.—More, perhaps, depends on the learner than on the teacher ; but we will write to you by post. M. Jobson.—1. Use the harder kind of gelatine, by all means; hut remember that the long-continued action of heat may spoil it. 2. Alcohol, if added in sufficient quantity, will throw the whole of it down. In a few clays, price 2s., per post, 2S. 3d., ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY & PHOTOGRAPHERS. A Series of Essays for the Studio and Study. TO WHICH ARE ADDED CONTINENTAL RAMBLES WITH A CAMERA. BY H.
