November 2, 1883. | THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 703 of a Suter lens. The negatives were whole-plate, taken with an 82-inches focus lens, and they were remarkable for the splendid definition right to the very corners. In reply to a question, he (Mr. McKellen) said he found the lens very rapid ; but in the present case he had used a small stop. Mr. W. Broughton exhibited, on behalf of his friend Mr. Bent, a series of lantern pictures from his own negatives, taken in South Africa, and they were very much admired. Mr. J. Kershaw exhibited a remarkable little picture—a boy blowing soap-bubbles. This, he said, was taken in the studio on a not very bright day. Mr. A. Brothers proposed that the council take into con sideration the possibility of holding an exhibition of photo graphs in the Royal Institution at the close of the present exhibition of paintings. The Rev. H. V. Macdona seconded this motion. He endeavoured to show the advantages of giving prizes, and gave some of his experience in connection with dog shows, &c. The following gentlemen were duly elected members of the SocietyMessrs. John Huison, H. 0. Hutchinson, John Mars den, Isaac S. Moss, W. S. Fidler, Thomas Emmett, J. A. Chad wick, Otto Moth, Frank Edwards, T. Scott, J. W. Kenworthy, and A. C. Farnsworth. After a pleasant and busy evening the meeting was adjourned. LIVERPOOL Amateur Photographic Association. The October meeting of the above Association was held on Thursday evening, the 25th ult., the President, Mr. B. Boothroyd, in the chair. The minutes of the September meeting having been read and confirmed, Messrs. A. W. Cornish, R. W. Hill, W. Punshon, W. Paris, and Dickenson were elected members of the Association. Mr. J. H. T. Ellerbeck asked for information as to the rule of the Society with regard to the appointment of honorary members. The Hon. Secretary read the rule as follows:—“ Honorary members shall be nominated by the Council, but their election must be with the consent of the members present at the meeting. Honorary members shall be entitled to attend the meetings, but not to serve on the Council or vote on any question whatever.” The Chairman alluded with much feeling to the heavy loss sustained by the Society during the past month by the death of one of its oldest members, Mr. W. H. Wilson ; and also by that of Mr. G. F. Chantrell, who, though but recently elected, had been on terms of intimacy and friendship with many a member of the Association. He (the Chairman) next announced that the Council would decide upon the presentation print for the current year during the ensuing month. Members having negatives suitable for enlarging for this purpose were requested to send them to Mr. J. H. T. Ellerbeck, 54, Bold Street, on or before the 15th of November next. The Chairman then called attention to some fine enamels and some instantaneous pictures kindly sent for exhibition by Mr. A. L. Henderson, of London, and expressed the thanks and appreciation of the members for these exhibits. He (the Chairman) then referred to a letter which he had received from M. Letellier, of Paris, appealing for a subscription to the proposed monument at Chalons-sur-Sabne to the memory of Daguerre. Mr. Ellerbeck proposed that the Society should present a donation to the funds of this memorial, the amount of such donation to be decided by the Council. Mr. J. L. CORKHILL seconded the resolution, and it was carried unanimously. The Hon. Secretary said that Mr. W. F. Donkin was un happily unable to be present in person, but had sent a most interesting and valuable paper, which he would proceed to read (see page 699). Mr. Donkin’s paper was illustrated by the whole of his splendid series of photographs of the Alps, and among them were some magnificent enlargements by the Auto type and Woodbury Companies. The picture of the marvellous Peak of the Dent du Gant was especially admired. The Chairman proposed a cordial vote of thanks to Mr. Donkin, not only for his capital paper, but also for his great kindness in affording the Society the treat of the sight of his truly wonderful pictures. So great was the applause and enthusiasm in response to the Chairman’s proposal, that it was not thought necessary to put the resolution formally before the meeting. The Rev. H. J. Palmer gave a demonstration illustrating the mode of enlarging with the lantern on Messrs. Goodall and Stephen's new enamelled collodio-bromide paper. The negative chosen for the purpose was one taken by Mr. Palmer in his summer tour abroad, and consisted of a view of the Cathedral of Chartres, with the River Eure and some quaint old houses in the foreground. After exposure of ten minutes in the Sciop- ticon lantern, with Dallmeyer’s lantern lens and a small stop, the development was accomplished by the light of a Scovill lamp, and the result was a very beautiful and brilliant picture, having all the appearance of a silver print on doubly-albu- menized paper. In answer to questions on the subject, he (the Rev. H. J. Palmer) said that his developer consisted of the saturated solution of oxalate of potash three parts, and one part of a saturated solution of sulphate of iron. After fixing in the usual way, he recommended flowing over with a solution of alum and citric acid, and then a very thorough washing with many changes of water. Mr. Palmer passed round two views of Antwerp Cathedral to illustrate the exceeding beauty of pictures enlarged upon this new enamelled paper. One of these pictures had been enlarged upon ordinary gelatino-bromide paper, and the other upon Messrs. Goodall and Stephen’s enamel, the latter being greatly superior to the former. During the exposure of the enlargement, Mr. Palmer read a paper on “ An Autumn Ramble in Shropshire (see page 699) and showed a number of pictures taken on the occasion and under the circumstances detailed. Mr. Ellerbeck exhibited the presentation prints of the South London Photographic Society. After a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Palmer for his useful and successful demonstration, and also for his paper, the meeting— which was the most crowded ordinary gathering which bad ever assembled under the auspices of the Liverpool Amateur Photo graphic Association—adjourned to the last Thursday in November. Zalk in te Studin. A Portrait in Court.—In the City of London Court, before Mr. Commissioner Kerr, the case Johnson V. White was heard. The plaintiff was Mr. Henry Johnson, photographer, 2, Dovecot Terrace, Green Lanes, Wood Green, who sued the defendant, Mr. W. White, printer, Bridge Chambers, Blackfriars, to recover the sum of £1 10s. for copying a carte-de-visite. The solicitor who appeared for the defendant said his client declined to pay the money because the alleged copy of the carte was not at all like the gentleman. Amid considerable amusement, the portrait was handed up to the Bench, and the defendant was called into the witness-box in order that his honour might have the opportunity of comparison. His Honour: I don’t sit here as a judge of art; but I would like to know when the carte was taken. Plaintiff: It was taken about five years ago. You will understand that I was not employed to take the photograph, but to reproduce the carte. His Honour : I think you have done your work very well. Plaintiff: My instructions were to make the eyes dark blue, and the whiskers not too grey. Defendant’s Solicitor: I have a boy in court who knows the defendant very well, and when the portrait was sent home he could not recognise it. His Honour: That may be; but recollect that five years had elapsed. Defendant's Solicitor: Then your honour holds that the portrait is a good reproduction of the carte. His Honour: Yes ; there will consequently be judgment for the plaintiff, with costs. Painted Portraits versus Photographic Portraits.— When Ouless was painting Mr. Bright, he, observing very few things in the studio beyond an easel, a maulstick, and some pigment of paint, said, “ You do business, Mr. Ouless, on a very small capital.” Mr. Bright being an artist in oratory, none know better than he that a painter’s capital was his skill. The orator does business on the platform with less sign of capital than the painter, for there is nothing to be seen but himself. My townsmen in Birmingham, wanting a photograph of Mr. Bright at full length, for a sculptor to refer to in working on a marble statue, induced Mr. Bright to sit to Mayall, who produced, with his accustomed aptness, a work of art. Though of almost life size, it has no exaggeration. Seeing my interest in it, Mr. Mayall gave me a copy of it, which—framed in a strong case with a movable lid, in which the portrait could be sean at will, yet calculated to bear, without risk, a sea voyage—I took to America. Mr. Millais has painted Mr. Gladstone in a manner worthy of descending to posterity, who will see the
