400 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. [August 22, 1862. ment of this extent is pre-eminently satisfactory. These specimens are duplicates of some which appeared in the British Department of the International Exhibition, and were removed on account of injury from the damp walls. To those interested in this mode of enlargement, we especially commend a view of the South Aisle in Hereford Cathedral, which is, in every sense, a very fine picture, and an excellent specimen of enlargement. As a picture, it is beautifully lighted, and a charming specimen of breadth. Architectural subjects, it will be readily seen, are trying tests for definition in this mode of enlargement, inasmuch, as unlike many subjects, portrait busts for instance, the necessity for fine definition, is not confined to a portion in the middle of the plate, but is carried to the extreme edges. This specimen and many similar ones, are therefore valuable as showing the amount of definition to be secured by the process. The “ Blind Harper, Raglan Castle,” is another picturesque photograph and excellent enlargement. “ Oscar,” a fine portrait of a handsome dog, is also fine. A Norman door way in Ludlow Castle, and another in Kilpick Church, as well as some others, also satisfactorily illustrate the ex cellence of the method, and are in themselves interesting pictures. As our readers know, we have always recommended this mode of enlargement, feeling well convinced that by its judicious use a sufficient amount of definition could always be secured, whilst, in some instances, the sharpness is in no perceptible degree inferior to that of the original. The facility of securing many beautiful results with small appa ratus, difficult or impossible with larger instruments, and the temptation to reduce the amount of impedimenta whilst on photographic rambles, are, we think, strong inducements to the amateur to be content with obtaining perfect small nega tives, with a view to the subsequent production of large pic tures from enlarged negative. PHOTOGRAPHS OF VARIOUS VIEWS. By Ernest Edwards. London: Published by McLean, MELHUISI, and Haes, for the “ Amateur Photographic Association.” The series of photographs before us is a striking illustration of the value of the Amateur Photographic Association, in affording a ready way for the amateur to publish his pro ductions without entering the ranks and competing with professional photographers. From the catalogue of the Association, we find that Mr. Edwards contributes not less than one hundred and nine negatives, prints from a dozen of which we have before us, and we may add that if the bulk be anything like the sample, which we do not doubt, Mr. Edwards may not only claim a very high position in the amateur ranks, but may ably try conclusions with some of our best professional artists. The first print which arrests our attention is a view of King’s College Chapel, Cambridge, from a similar point to one we have just noticed above. This is, however, a summer scene, in which the wooded foreground is thick with leaves instead of snow; and although both are excellent photo graphs, we prefer the effect of the summer picture, the leafy entanglement being highly picturesque; whilst the light, graceful form of the building, seen through and above the trees in the distance, has a very charming effect. There is a fine atmospheric tint in the sky, and the picture is tastefully vignetted. Altogether this picture is a photographic gem. “ Ryde Pier and Steamer.”—This is an instantaneous pic ture, and is in no respect inferior to. that we have just noticed : it is a fine composition, and is delicate, soft, and transparent. “ Whippingham Church” is a very excellent photograph of the church which Her Majesty has recently rebuilt at Osborne. There is a little under-exposure in the foliage, and this is scarcely, we think, the best view of the building, which is, however, one of which it is somewhat difficult to obtain a suitable position for getting the best effect. “ Netley Abbey, East Window,” is one of the mod charming photographs of the series, exquisitely brilliant, and perfect in chiaroscura, it is at the same time delicate and soft in the extreme ; the climbing foliage, almost bridg ing the chasms in the broken arches, is very beautiful. Some other views of the ruins of this fine old abbey are equally good. “ Anchor Church, Derby,” and “ A Cleft in the Rock, Anchor Church,” are two good photographs of natural curiosities, the chief charm in which, pictorially, consistssin the beautiful rendering of the mass of luxuriant vegetation with which the rocks are overgrown, creeping plants, and grasses of all kinds; intertwining in fantastic wreaths. These would form fine subjects for the stereoscope, but they scarcely make pictures. A statue of “ Silence,” in the Fitzwilliam Museum, is a charming photograph of a charming piece of sculpture. It is illuminated chiefly by a side light, and in the point of view selected, the camera is directed to the shadowed side of the figure ; the attempt is a dangerous one, but the result is very beautiful when it is successful, as it is here. The vignetting is very judiciously managed. The “ Shield of Achilles ” is a fine piece of photography rendering with great delicacy every part of the magnificent design, and doing full justice to the relievo, a task not always easy with a bronze surface. “ The Library, Trinity College,” is a beautifully execute’ small interior of this magnificent library. The whole of Mr. Edwards’ pictures are characterized by fine feeling and great delicacy of manipulation. It is only right to add that the printing is uniformly good, the prints are of fine tone, and the vignetting judicibusly managed, the whole reflecting great credit on the firm who print fot the Association. THE INUNDATIONS IN THE FENS FROM A PHOTOGRAPHIC POINT OF VIEW* As we passed the Magdalen Fen engine, I was much sur prised at its unwonted state of activity. The large dratn made to convey the waters thrown out by its wheel into the river Ouse, and which was usually nearly empty, was now* 111 , from bank to bank, and the surface of the water was cover* 1 with yeasty foam, caused by the laborious efforts of the eng)* tolessen its quantity. We learned, on enquiry, that theps headedness, if not something worse, of the occupiers al labourers on the inundated side had occasioned this unustl strain upon the Magdalen engine. It appears that imd diately upon the breaking of the bank the Magdalen I , men eagerly rushed to the culverts, t and stopped them UP but in the night some persons, actuated by the ins notion that if the waters were allowed to run through thd. outlets, it would lessen the quantity on the submerged laS opened the communications again; and in the mornt there was a lake of about the area of 50 acres to greet a terrified gaze of the Magdalen Fen men. They proceededi once to prevent the increase of the evil, by stopping UPl. outlet once more, and to prevent a repetition of the misclo 8 left it guarded night and day. We now turned it"Qe narrower road, and in about eleven minutes we wereat i foot of a bridge now useless, for all traces of the path ney, were obliterated by the cruel resistless waters now rag before us. t)e I shall not easily forget the impressions produced by first sight of this extraordinary scene. I had, duringthat ride, endeavoured to picture it, but I saw at a glance the description failed entirely in conveying anything m• to faintest outline.
