732 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC HEWS. [NOvEMBER 16, 1883. granted on the strength of the English one. Another error I Mr. Chesterman ought to know that in Germany patents are never so obtained. In my own case the diploma was only granted after a careful investigation into the novelty of the process. That these are opinions of my process somewhat divergent from that of your corres pondent his own letter testifies ; and I fancy few people who know Berlin and St. Petersburg both will have much difficulty in appraising the value of the scientific judgment of the two capitals, nor in accounting for the reception or rejection of any application to Russian officialism on grounds little connected with its merits.—I am, sir, yours obediently, <1OFX M. Moss. 9roceedings of Sscieties, Photographic Society of Great Britain. The first ordinary monthly meeting of the above Society for the present session was held at 5a, Pall Mall East, on Tuesday evening, the 13th inst., Mr. James GLAISHER, F.R.S., President, in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and con firmed, the following gentlemen were elected members of the Society:—Messrs. Thomas Annan, H. R. Banant, Leonard Norman Chadwick, William Cotesworth, W. Dawson, Alfred Ellis, T. Fall, James Goulburn, E. H. Griffiths, M.A., Henry Harben, Lieut. E. C. Tyrell Hawke, R E., Messrs. H. Bedford Lemare, W. N. Malby, Harry A. Moncrieff, William Newall, Fox Shaw, A. Stewart, Peter Thellusson, Clement Tulloch, W. H. Weldon, and A. J. West. The Chairman then presented the Exhibition medals to the following gentlemen Messrs. W. Mayland, H. P. Robinson, Seymour Conway, H. B. Berkeley, Dr. W. F. Donkin, West and Son, the Autotype Company, Messrs. Adam Diston, J. G. Whaite, J. Bullock, W. Cobb, Dr. Common, A. and 0. Annan, W. B. Woodbury, and A. Lugardon, of Geneva. The Chairman said that, having thus fulfilled the wishes of the jurors of the Exhibition in announcing the awards, he felt it incumbent onhim to mention the names of Messrs. Lyddell Sawyer, G. Selwyn Edwards, Manfield, Brightman, Vanner, Henry Dixon, Henry Stevens, Beasley, Junr., Bearne, Faulkner, Malby, Valentine Blanchard, W. England, W. Ackland, and Sutcliffe, all of whom had exhibited pictures of great merit. He would now call upon the members for a very warm vote of thanks both to the hanging committee and the jurors, and in doing so, would ask them to try and imagine the great labour there had been in con nection both with the hanging and the awards. The hanging committee had to make the best arrangement they could, and it seemed at first almost impossible to get anything like order out of the collection of pictures ; day by day the pictures were put up, while the judges made their notes independently of each other, and this for several hours each day during several days. He thought that for voluntarily giving up their time, and for the care and consideration they had displayed, both the judges and the hanging committee were entitled to the best thanks of all concerned. The votes of thanks having been warmly accorded, The Chairman said that up to and including Monday evening, the 12th inst., there had been 9,304 visitors to the Exhibition, and the money taken amounting to £222 odd, and therefore it was the best Exhibition they had had, both as regarded the number of visitors and the receipts. At the lantern exhibitions there had usually been from three to five hundred visitors on each occasion, and the question had been mooted as to whether next year they should hold them more frequently. Mr. Jabez Hughes then read a paper entitled, “ Thirty years of Photographic Progress . How it has been secured, and how it may be maintained,” in which he commenced by expressing a fear that his paper might prove somewhat dry and uninteresting ; but he would ask the indulgence of his audience for its imperfec tions. Of one thing he felt quite sure—viz., that after the pro ceedings they had witnessed that evening, it was evident that the advancement that had been made in photography was chiefly due to their own Society. He thought that the members might well afford to devote cue evening to the consideration of the direct and indirect results of their past work. It was scarcely possible that the same progress would be made in another thirty years as had been made in the past thirty, and some explanation might prove interesting as to how this advancement had been brought about. It was the object of his paper to show this, and also that the absolute rise and progress of photography was connected with and through their Society. Photography dated its existence for all practical purposes from Fox Talbot and Daguerre, and it was curious to compare these two methods with the experience since acquired. By each method the image in the camera was for the first time secured ; each was worked out independently of the other. Both appeared about the same time; each used the same sensitive salt (iodide of silver) to produce the image in the camera, and each used a developer to bring out the image. But here the similarity ceased. Daguerre’s was a positive photograph on thick glass plates, Talbot’s a negative one on thin paper. Daguerre’s process had a brilliant existence until collodion came into use, then it died out. It was not a whole or complete process, only a positive proces produced by negative means; its advent was, however, a splendid episode in photographic history. Talbot’s process, on the contrary, succeeded on account of a two fold advantage it possessed—viz., that it was both a positive and a negative process, each being capable of independent working, all progress since made in paper photography only consisting of altera tions and variations of this. Glancing fora moment at the many different ways by which negative wet and dry processes had been produced since Talbot’s time, Mr. Hughes remarked that the contrast between the Calotype process of 1840, and the gelatine process of 1880, was almost ludicrous. In Talbot’s researches the first results were crude and uncertain, and it was be borne in mind that there was a total absence of collateral knowledge to guide the student into new fields. Men of such high scientific culture as Sir John Herschel and Robert Hunt undertook these researches, and by such labours as these the art was placed on a firm scientific basis; and as fresh knowledge was gained, the band of students increased. The Exhibition of 1851 gave a special impetus to the work, and the discovery, about the same time, of the collodion process contributed very greatly to the progress of the art. In January, 1853, the first meeting of the present Society was held, with Sir Charles Eastlate as president, and the founding of this Society completed the chain between the very commencement of photographic research until the present time. New enthusiasm was imparted to the early workers by being thus associated together, and an impetus in the art arose which has never since subsided. The example of this Society was followed by the establishment of others at Liverpool, Edinburgh, Manchester, Dublin, Birmingham, and other places, and about this time appeared the first organ of the photographic press. The establishment of photographic exhibitions by this Society also contributed much to the advancement of the art, especially as regards technical skill, and the exhibitions of the Photographic Society of Great Britain might now be considered as the “ Royal Academy of Photography.” What had hitherto been merely a curiosity, now became a household necessity, and the interchange of portraits became general. Mr. Hughes did not propose to note the myriad courses into which photography has now prominently woven itself, but would simply draw attention to the fact that photography, which was practically unknown thirty years ago, had now taken its place with the other arts. If industry were all that was required, the progress would be much greater; but some of the labour had been ill-expended, and to an outside observer there might seem to have been a waste of energy in discovering new processess, and then throwing them aside for others. Photography had already passed through two eras, and paper and collodion were now' entering upon a third, viz., gelatine, and Mr. Hughes expressed his conviction that the gelatine period would as much excel collodion as the latter had surpassed paper ; having seen how progress had been secured in the past, it would not bo difficult to maintain it in the future, by going on doing as they had done before, but with greater zest. In concluding his paper, Mr. Hughes spoke in eulogistic terms of the very important aid rendered to the Society by their President, Mr. James Glaisher, who, he said, had been connected with photography since its earliest days, and he was sure that they had never had a more useful member. A vote of thanks having been accorded to Mr. Hughes for his paper, Colonel Stuart WORTLEY objected to the paper being con sidered history until it had been taken into discussion, as he had noticed that while some sames of little note in the photographic world had been brought into prominence, other names of dis tinguished workers had been entirely omitted, as well as some ot the leading processes. , . Mr. Hughes explained that on account of the great length o his paper originally, he had been obliged to cut it down, ana in
