TUB PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS, [January 3, 1868. In printing processes generally but little change has been blade. Swan’s carbon process has steadily progressed in commercial use, but has not been so generally adopted in this country as we hope to see it. In America and on the Continent it is coming into use, M. Braun, of Dornach, having hitherto adopted it most largely and successfully. Mr. Woodbury’s process has not yet been commercially practised, but probably will be very shortly. There appears to be no inherent reason why it should not at once be generally adopted for many purposes. Involving, as it does, entirely new principles of printing, requiring new and costly plant, and newly trained workmen, it has laboured hitherto under commercial disadvantages which have delayed its application. Mr. Woodbury has been busy in working it out in various directions, and has during the year produced 10 by 8 pictures in all respects equal to silver prints. Silver printing remains much as it has done for some years, its practice in skilled hands having attained a high state of perfection. Some slight attention has been given to methods of eliminating the last traces of hyposulphite from the print, but chemical modes of effecting this do not seem likely to come at any time into general practice. There is little doubt that a carefully produced silver print, fixed in plenty of strong, fresh, neutral hyposulphite solution, and then thoroughly washed, will be as permanent as an image formed of reduced silver can be ; and that, kept under favour able conditions, it may havea long tenure of stability. The chief difficulty is, that however perfectly produced, the very nature of an image of finely divided silver renders it liable to change; and hence the importance and desirability of using a carbon process. Hence also the desirability of a method of protecting silver prints from the action of the atmosphere and the agencies of change which are present in it. Mr. Blanchard’s method of coating the print at both sides with collodion seemed very hopeful ; but some expe riences during the year, which have been described in our pages, have somewhat dashed that hope. The matter still requires further testing, however; the process has too many elements of promise to be abandoned without very full trial. The method of using varnishes for the same purposes is less desirable for general use, because of the unsuitable glaze it gives the picture. The use of wax is gaining ground, as improving the appearance of the print, whilst it makes it less pervious to injury. The use of sugar in the printing bath, specially brought under the attention of photographers in our pages by Mr. Bovey, promises to be of great value in permitting the keep ing of paper without risk of discoloured prints, and also, under some circumstances, communicating increased sensi tiveness and intensity. The use of a toning bath of sulpho cyanide and gold has received some attention during the year, and, for certain purposes, has been found to possess good qualities. Our collodio-chloride process has come into more common use on the Continent, and M. Obernetter has prepared a stable sensitive paper by a modification of our process, the prints from which appear to be very excellent. Photo-lithography and photo-engraving have not made much progress, especially in this country. The process of phototypie by MM. Tessie du Motay and Mareschal gives the most perfect results we have seen. The method of pro ducing photo-engraved plates of reproductions has received some attention on the Continent, and we have seen very good results. This branch of photography, which ought to have many valuable applications, has received singularly little attention in this country. Much interest has been excited during the year by the accounts of the photography at the International Exhi bition in Paris, in which this country, from a variety of causes, presented a much worse appearance than the con dition of photography in England justified. Whilst wo excelled in landscape, it was clear, however, that we were behind some continental countries in the art excellence of our portraiture. The magnificent portraits by M. Salomon, of Paris, took the iphotographic world by surprise, and, by their boldness and vigour of style, combined with much delicacy and perfect modelling, their daring novelty and freshness in composition, showed that higher phases of photographic excellence were possible than had yet been dreamed of; ana a new impulse of improvement has doubt less been given to photographic portraiture by the exhibition of these pictures. An exhibition of photographs held in London was a suc cess beyond anticipation. It had been resolved to inaugu rate the new session of the Photographic Society by holding an exhibition meeting, photographers being invited to send in examples of recent progress in the art for examination. In the course of one evening, contributions so extensive and of such excellence were forthcoming that it was found desirable to prolong the exhibition for a week. In many respects it was the best photographic exhibition which has been held in London, and exhibited a very satisfactory activity and state of progress and improvement amongst photographers. Professional photography has continued in a state of depression, but there are symptoms of improvement. Hie cabinet portrait, to which we endeavoured to give an impulse last year which should aid in establishing it, has in America and on the Continent become a great success. In this country it is progressing towards success, but has scarcely yet attained that position. With increased commercial prosperity in the country at large, and with increased effort and excellence amongst photographers, who should cherish a higher opinion of their art, of its possibilities, and of the worth of its results, revived commercial prosperity will, we doubt not, prevail amongst portraitists. As a contemporary has well remarked, “ The art cannot die ; it must advance; and already there are signs of a revival.” That revival may not equal the prosperity which attended the card mania, but it will bring success to those who deserve it. Death has been busy amongst the ranks of veteran photograpners during the year. M. Claudet, the oldest professional photographer in London, — one who had laboured with love and earnestness for the promotion of the art for upwards of a quarter of a century,—is gone. Mr. J. E. Goddard, another of the oldest workers, is also dead. Mr. Mawson, a name long familiar in connection with the preparation of photographic chemicals, was lost to the art by an untimely death. The Duc de Luynes, a name long associated with the promotion of permanent printing, and the prizes he offered to stimulate the production of such a process, he also is gone. Mr. Malone, an early worker in conjunction with Mr. Fox Talbot, is also amongst the men that are gone. The melancholy thought presses itself on the mind that the time is coming on when the names of the pioneers of our art will pass out of the field of action into the domain of history. Let us all strive to do some work for the art first, and lot us work while it is called to-day. In conclusion, we greet readers, friends, and correspondents with wishes for a happier and more prosperous new year than that has been which has just closed. THE MOIST MORPHINE PROCESS. Some further accounts of the moist acetate of morphine process for keeping plates a few hours are very promising, and the simplicity of this mode of preparing plates for long exposures, or to be carried a distance, without the delay in volved in using dry plates, possesses many advantages. Mr. Burgess writes, a few days ago :— “ I took out with me a plate prepared by thorough wash ing and dipping in one grain solution of morphine. I gave two minutes’ exposure with Dallmeyer's stereo lenses, No. 4 stop. 1 should have considered thirty seconds sufficient for an ordinary wet plate. Developed with iron and gelatine, the result was a well-exposed, perfectly clean negative, about the same colour and density as an ordinary negative, It
