April 17, 1868.] THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 189 The Chairman then announced that the evening having been set aside for the examination of photographs and conver sation thereon, he would be glad if the members would place before the meeting the examples of the art they had brought with them. Mr. Cocking (Hon. Sec.) exhibited three portraits, 10 by 8, possessing the characteristics of great richness, force, and depth seen in most of M. Salomon’s portraits. All the pictures displayed much artistic feeling : one, of a gentleman, taken under somewhat difficult circumstances as to light, &c., was exceedingly fine and vigorous, possessing excellent gradation and modelling, and unusually fine rendering of light and shade. Mr. Cockin also exhibited a family picture, consisting of father and mother and fifteen children, mounted in the spaces left in an illuminated design which he had prepared for the purpose. Mr. Wharton Simpson exhibited examples of the work of M. Adam-Salomon, of Paris, and of Mr. Notman, of Montreal, done in a similar style; also of the work of Herr Milster, of Berlin, and some examples of American carbon printing, all of which were much admired. Mr. Booty exhibited some interesting landscapes, amongst which were some interesting snow scenes and some good cloud effects, obtained by giving a graduated exposure, the foreground being uncovered much longer than the sky. Mr. DALLMEYER exhibited a large selection of Mr. England’s charming Rhino pictures taken on dry plates ; of Faulkner’s portraits of children ; of Mr. Russell Manners Gordon’s exqui site landscapes; of Mr. Rejlander's art studies; and some other pictures, all illustrating the qualities of his various forms of lenses. Mr. Blanchard exhibited some remarkably fine, massive portrait studies, and some architectural pictures taken with Dallmeyer's wide-angle Rectilinear lens. He explained, in re ference to a view of Cannon Street Station and Hotel, that it would have been impossible to have secured the picture with any other lens, on account of the contracted situation. The view in question was taken from the opposite side of the street, and although the perspective was somewhat exaggerated by taking such a large picture with a lens of such short focus, he con sidered such a lens an invaluable addition to the photographer’s stock of apparatus, enabling him to secure many valuable pictures before beyond his reach. Mr. England said that many of the pictures bo then exhibited were taken with the rectilinear lens, and could not have been taken without it—that of Cologne Cathedral, for instance, which had never been taken before, its contracted situation rendering it impossible with ordinary lenses. This picture, although of cabinet size, was taken with a lens of 4} inches focus. In using such a lens he avoided, where he could, such a point of view as would render the exaggerated perspec tive very apparent. Mr. DALLMEYER pointed out the importance of employing special lenses for special uses, and of avoiding the wide- angle and short focus lenses for ordinary purposes. Whilst he had endeavoured to meet the wants of photographers by giving them instruments to suit occasional and special necessities, he would recommend that for ordinary purposes a lens including about 54° should be used, which would give results natural and true, without any appearance of false perspective. Mr. Hunter exhibited a largo and interesting collection of the photographs of the Amateur Photographic Association. Mr. Wall exhibited a print from a negative in which an etching-noodle had been used to modify the detail in the acces sories and background, and also some examples of a method of producing, by photography, blocks for surface-printing from copies of engraving. Mr. WERGE exhibited an interesting series of pictures illus trating eight distinct types of photography. Mentioning them alphabetically rather than chronologically, they were the Am brotype, or collodion positive on glass ; the Calotype, or paper print, by Fox Talbot’s method; the Chrysotypo—one of Sir John Herschel’s processes—in which the sensitive surface was prepared with ammonia-citrate of iron, and developed with gold; the Cyanotypo, another of the processes of Sir John Herschel, in which the imago was produced by the aid of prus siate of potassium ; the Daguerreotype, a portrait of the wife of Daguerre, taken by himself; a Diaphanotype. which was a paper print made transparent, and coloured at the back in oil; a Ferrotype, or Collodion-positivo, on an enamelled iron plate ; and an Ivorytype, or paper print, coloured on the surface in water-cqlour, and rendered transparent with wax, so as to re semble a tablet of ivory. Mr. Werge also exhibited a print on albuminized paper, printed twelve years ago, which was in very perfect condition, showing no fading or change of colour. It was washed as described at a recent meeting by Mr. Werge. After explanation and examination of these and other prints, the proceedings terminated. London Photographic Society. The usual Monthly Meeting of this Society was held in tho Architectural Gallery, Conduit Street, on the evening of April 14th, Mr. J. Glaisher, F.R.S., in the chair. The minutes of a previous meeting were read and confirmed. The Chairman said that Mr. Mayall had kindly promised to add to the list of presentation prints already announced by giving each member a photograph, the subject of which re mained to be decided by the council or the donor. Mr. Griggs then proceeded to read a paper on Photolitho graphy, and the application of Photography to Chromo-litho- graphy, describing in detail the process employed at the India Museum in producing the designs of textile manufactures and other art industries for distribution amongst the manufacturers of this country. A salient difference in his operations to those usually employed in the recognized processes of photo-litho graphy consists in tho fact that he washes his transfer with cold water instead of boiling water. An especial interest was communicated to the proceedings by the practical demonstra tion of the operations which was afforded, Mr. Griggs, with the aid of an assistant, printing, in presence of the meeting, certain impressions from two stones forming the design ot a turban piece. He also washed off a transfer before the meeting, placed it on the stone, rolled it up, and distributed a few impressions among the members. Tho Chairman called attention to some excellent examples of photo-chromo-lithography Mr. Griggs had placed at the dis posal of the Society for presentation to members as examples of the kind of work he had described, and the mode of producing which he had demonstrated. Members would receite the prints at the close of the meeting, on application to the Secretary. He also called attention to a fine collection of views on the Rhine, produced by Mr. England on dry plates ; and to a number of fine examples of the Eburneum process, produced by Mr. John Keene. Mr. Mayall expressed his personal thanks to Mr. Griggs for the reading of one of the most interesting papers, accompanied by the most satisfactory illustrations, that they ever had the pleasure of witnessing. He was deeply impressed by what had been brought before them, of the immense strides which photo graphy was making as a handmaid to manufacturing art; ho had scarcely been prepared to expect that photography should be made the agent of distributing the splendid designs of the textile fabrics of India to every manu facturer in this country, rendering them with a degree of accuracy which gave the value of technical pattern for actual guidance in work. The manufacturers of Manchester and Paisley must at once see the importance of guides so accurate and perfect, and the result must be beneficial in our art indus tries. This was an illustration of how photography might be made valuable in cultivating our workmen in connection with all industries involving the art of design ; and he hoped to seo the admirable productions of the middle ages, the works of Cellini and others, made familiar by a similar means. He hoped, too, that the manufacturers of this country, availing themselves of such aids to design, would send back to India fabrics which should illustrate their triumphs in manufacturing industry. Doubtless Mr. Griggs’ process would have many valuable applications, especially in chromo-lithography. Ho should like to learn from him if these designs could be pro duced in cylinders, so as to fit for the purpose of the calico- printer, where it might probably be of incalculable value. He foresaw immense advantages in this respect, in the designs of the fabrics produced in our cotton districts, when true art being wedded to manufacturing industry, the two going hand in hand, aided by such appliances as Mr. Griggs had brought before them. All true art required the devotion of a life study to give it value, and in proportion as true art could be multi plied and popularized it would drive out the bad art which was only too common. The process illustrated to-night would give currency to the productions of such men as Albert Durer and others of a high class. It was too true that we were, in this cqqntry, behind the rest of Europe in the arts of design. He
