November 14, 1862.] of such awards, we are glad that the arisen on the Scientifir Gossiy. THE LONDON PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY. hers. rne Council of the Society, have recently deliberated on the subject, of presenting to each member a copy of a photo- graph, which, besides possessing excellence as a specimen of the art, should have an especial value, from the fact, that, >t would be issued exclusively to members of the Society. At a recent meeting of the Council, it was suggested that the very fine portrait of His Royal Highness the late Prince Reeve writes to the same journal, denying that Mr. Pretsch’s processes are yet in a state for useful application. He says : On looking at some stereoscopic pictures prepared by his pro- I teas, I found it to be an utter failure as regards its application I to stereography. The pictures showed that the plate had been so I Puch etched by hand, to mend the shortcomings of the etching by the action of light, that they would not combine in the stereoscope, to say nothing of a coarseness quite intolerable vlien viewed through the stereoscopic lenses. Compared with ' a photo-print from a negative, the picture was as the printed I etching of a bee’s wing seen through the microscope, when Compared with the wing itself. We may suggest, that to examine a picture in the stereo- Scope, is of all tests, that the least favourable to Mr. Pretsch’s process, and that its unfitness for stereoscopic pic- tures, does not, necessarily, militate against its value for other purposes. We feel it necessary to apologize to our readers for the Amount of our space taken up by these subjects, in this and other numbers, at the present moment. lint the great im portance which attaches to every method of rapid produc- tion, and of securing permanent prints, renders a perfect record of progress of the utmost importance, both to photo- Graphers and their art. Consort, taken by Mr. Vernon Heath, and never published, would be a most suitable picture for presentation to the members of a society, of which the late Prince had been the patron. Mr. Heath at once consented to place the negative at the disposal of the Society, subject to the sanction of Her Majesty. Accordingly, Dr. Diamond, the secretary, wrote to ask the permission of the Queen for such a use of the negative, which has been graciously accorded without hesi tation. The following is the letter received from Buckingham Palace by Dr. Diamond :— Buckingham Palace, November, 1862. Sib,—I have had the honour to submit your letter, of the 6th inst., to the Queen. I am commanded to inform you that Her Majesty willingly sanctions the presentation, to each member of the Photographic Society, of a photograph, from the negative of Mr. Vernon Heath, of the Prince Consort, who was the patron of your Society.—I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, C. B. Phipps. Dr. Diamond. Our readers will be glad to notice, that in according this permission, it is not only done graciously, but that direct recognition is made of the relation subsisting between the late Prince and the Society. His deep interest in, and active patronage of, all that concerned the art, will give an especial value to the portrait, and her Majesty’s willing sanction to the gift, from her own negative, confers an in terest which could not have attached to any other presenta tion print. As a photograph, and as a portrait, nothing better could be desired. We may mention that we believe, although without absolute certainty, that members now j oining the Society will be permitted to share in the privilege of the presentation. We may mention another circumstance in connection with the Society. We are glad to state that the Council have just decided on giving'prize medals at the next Exhibition of the Society. Just at a moment when considerable discussion has The Proposed Change in the Gbain Weight.—Examina tion of Glass in the SPEOTROSCOPE. No one knows, or ought to know, better than a photo grapher, the lamentable state of confusion our national ! weights and measures are in. It has been estimated that there are no less than ten different systems in use in this country, most of which are established by law. Thus there is :—1, The grain, computed decimally, for scientific pur poses ; 2, Troy weight; 3, Troy ounce, with decimal mul tiples and divisions, called bullion weight; 4, Bankers' weights for sovereigns ; 5, Apothecaries’ weight; 6, Dia- Wn have pleasure in recording a circumstance, which indi- cates the warm interest, which Her Majesty the Queen takes in photography, and in the Photographic Society of London A the recognized and representative guild of photograph The Council of the Society, have recently deliberated on I to be able to effect, but from circumstances having arisen I which led the Editor to call on me for some available result of I my process as it then was. I But (3) as I have recently attained the object of protracted I labours, and reached a point which neither Sir H. James nor I Mr. Osborne will claim to have been yet touched, namely, the I production on stone of photographs taken direct from nature, while I my previous process (identical in principle with that of both I disputants) referred only to copies. On reference to Mr. Pouncy’s description of the stones I exhibited in January, 1859, we do not find any mention of I the word transfer, nor any allusion which indicates that I they were so produced ; and on reference to the PhotograpTiic I Noles, we find the prints referred to described as carbon I prints. It is quite possible that the stones were produced by means of a transfer, but they were not so described: and it is quite possible the prints issued in the Notes, were from stones produced by the aid of a transfer; but the term “carbon print,” as technically understood by photographers, I Roes not convey the idea of a print from a stone at all. In reference to the question of half tone, we shall have a few Words in another article. Colonel Sir Henry James in stating his own independent discovery, in no way challenges those of other people, but willingly recognizes their labours. We shall refer to I his history of photozincography shortly, in reviewing his work on that subject. A letter from Mr. Ryder in the present number, by implication, claims a share in the inven tion, but is scarcely sufficiently definite. Mr. Paul Pretsch writes to the Times, to protest against ' the injustice of awarding him a prize medal in the Inter- national Exhibition, for improved methods of photographic printing, whilst his real claim is for methods of photo-' graphic engraving, or producing, by the combined aid of photography and the electrotype plates, either in intaglio or relief, for printing at the copper-plate or typographic Presses. We give his letter in another page. Mr. -Lovell Council have had the wisdom to discriminate between the real value of such distinctions as incentives to progress, and the evils which attend their mismanagement, especially as there is a tendency to condemn the use of medals, because of their abuse. The exact details have not, at the time we write, been decided, but we believe there will be three or four silver medals, for which a very fine design from an antique medallion has been chosen. There will probably be one for the best portrait, one for the best landscape, and one for the best picture, and possibly, one for discoveiy, or for excellence of manipulation. We believe we violate no confidence in stating that the carrying out of the project of medals, is largely due to a liberal offer on the part of Lieut.-Col. Stuart Wortley. The Exhibition will be held in Suffolk Street, the Pall Mall Gallery being unattainable on this occasion. We trust that photographers will make an especial effort to secure a good Exhibition, and erase from the public mind as early as possible some of the impressions left by the half stripped and fading effect recently presented by the display in the attic at South Kensington.
