[July 11,1862 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 330 greater amount of artistic feeling is requisite to p good result by shading off the background exactly rocure a ly in the * Continued from p. 300. white touches added by the artists. This gentleman's show is by no means what it should be; he should either hare not exhibited at all, or have sent specimens worthy of ins established reputation. The same remark applies to Kilbum, Mayer Brothers, and one or two more, whose success hasp doubt rendered them somewhat careless of fame. Mr. IN placed so far out of the line that it would be unjust to criti cise them rigorously. From the distance, they appear to be worthy specimens of manipulatory skill and artistic humour. J. B. Dancer (17, 18) exhibits two frames of what appear to be microscopic portraits ; but as there is no means of viewing them, nothing can be said about them. R. F. Barnes (33). This gentleman sends portraits of several musical celebrities, but they appear to be coarser than most of his former pro ductions. Boss and Thomson (34, 35) contribute two frames of excellent portraits, which are, however, much diminished in merit by the backgrounds being generally much too dark. These two frames are very good illustrations of the great difference in type between English and Scottish physio gnomy. On the south-east screen (732) is another frame of portraits, from the same artists, containing some very meri torious efforts in artistic grouping. The heads of the sitters arc, however, generally too large. T. 11. Williams (49-52, 55-57, 166, 399-404, 414, 821-829, 835) sends a number of exquisite vignettes in his well-known style. It appears to be now generally allowed that vignettes are the most artistic of all photographs. The reason of this no doubt is that a proper place and with the right amount of gradation. The productions of Mr. Williams are, as a whole, the best por traits in the exhibition. John and Charles Watkins (58-60, 64-66) exhibit six frames of first-rate portraits, the cartes de visite being the best in the exhibition. These gentlemen excel in placing their sitters in a characteristic position, generally with one or two well-disposed accessories. The lighting, too, of their pictures is excellently managed, the head of the sitter being the most brilliant portion of the picture, the other parts being illuminated distinctly but feebly. Apropos of these very beautiful little works of art— we see a great tendency in other photographers to use back grounds, more or less badly painted, on which are depicted in the worst taste the pillar, curtain, balustrade, and gather ing storm of the ancient La Creevy school of art. This is surely a retrogression. A photograph, to bean artistic pro duction, needs no extraneous aid in the way of bad scene painting ; and we point to the cartes de visite sent by Messrs. Watkins as the best proof that we arc right in our notions. Herbert Watkins (24, 85, 96, 135) sends a frame of portraits of Bistori, in eighteen or twenty of her dramatic creations. The photographs are all that could be desired in the way of artistic treatment, but the effect is marred by the absence of spontaneity in the position and expression of the actress. This must always be the case in photographing expression, dramatic effect consisting in the very instantaneity of the movement. “ II. P. Robinson (128-132, 142, 572,594, 595, 703). The productions of Mr. Robinson are always pleasing from the amount of beauty always contained in his pictures. They arc, as our readeas are no doubt aware, subject pictures, made up in a very ingenious manner from several different nega tives. “ The Top of the Hill ” (128), is simple and good, the action of the girl being extremely natural. “ The Holiday in the Wood” (131), with its bevy of children enjoying themselves to their heart’s content, is too well known to need description. The greatest effort yet made by Mr. Robinson is “The Lady of Shallot ” (132). She that “ floated down to Camelot ” is a very beautiful girl, (well known to us through “ Fading away,” and other of Mr. Robinson’s productions), lying, with dishevelled hair in a boat, that barely ripples the surface of the black stream down which it is gliding. The scene is laid in early spring, and the calmness of the surrounding landscape appears to indicate that the time is evening—a supposition borne out by a strong side light that falls in a magical manner on a willow on the opposite shore. This picture is the best of Mr. Robinson’s works, and will, we hope, bring him the fame he deserves. “Mayall (152, 153) exhibits two frames of portraits in which the photograph- is quite hidden by the black and King, of Bath, sends a large number of theatrical portrait) , which would be much better with plain backgrounds. Iti really a pity to see good pictures spoiled by ill-paintel scenery introduced. Maull and Polyblank exhibit a numbs of large portraits of celebrated men, which, but for a certain uncomfortable air which they all possess, would be entitle" to a foremost place. C. Wright (151) sends a number d portraits with very spotty backgrounds. The genen treatment of these photographs appears to indicate that Mr Wright has great artistic ability; but why should lie•I the effect of good work by careless manipulation? Are? characteristic group of “ Young Toole ” and “ Old Paul’ [ exhibited by Mr. C. T. Newcombe (171). He also sene- j some excellent cartes de visite. T. H. Humah, 182, 183,201 202, 415-422. These are the best plain portraits in t exhibition. To say at once that everything in them is goo is the best criticism to give them. In general treatment in position, in lighting, in printing even in mountings 1 ' framing, they are worthy of the imitation of every phott grapher. Joubert exhibits some charming little cartes visite. the effect of which is entirely marred by the slovenly way in which they are mounted in a very shabby frame. “ There are several enlarged portraits exhibited by • Claudet, but they cannot be called anything more tbs" successful attempts. Enlarged photographs are, in out opinion, a great mistake. It is not the province of photo graphy to supersede the crayon or the life-size canvas. Then! are many other portraits that we cannot notice from wanl of space. Our readers must not therefore suppose that silence is necessarily indicative of censure. “ The coloured portraits are numerous, and for the most part good. Foremost in excellence are those of Messrs- Lock and Whitfield. These gentlemen certainly have suc ceeded in collecting together, in one frame, an amount d female and infantine beauty rarely seen. Having sac 3 models to work upon, and being, as they undoubtebly am our best photographic colourists, the result could not b’ otherwise than super-excellent. Next come the very beatt, ful propuctions of Mr. Williams, 821-829, which cons principally of vignetted heads, charmingly coloured in 02 The rest of the display is made up by Messrs. Clau Heath and Beau, Kilburn, and Mayer Brothers, whose f ductions are well known to the public. There is a bt coloured group of officers, which has received a placek which it is certainly not entitled. It is a large grouPA military men, made up from a number of negatives, ta at different times and under different conditions of ig0 The colouring is very bad, and the officers appear to b* no connection with each other; in fact it reminds ’ strongly of the well-known plates in ‘ Le Follet,’ and ot20 books of tailoring art. There are several frames of guar., tors’ portraits, about which the less that is said the bett M. Claudet contributes a stand of daguerreotype stereoscon portraits, which come back to one like a dream ot ant 1 days.” , 1 A Some other extracts from the daily press, and comme thereon, are compelled to stand over to our next.
