2 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS, [JANUARY 1, 1869. not now, as it belongs more,properly to the future than the past. The subject of toning and fixing silver prints at one operation has been revived and received some attention, but no general desire to return to old methods has been manifested. Means of more perfect fixation, especially in relation to the elimination of silver from the whites of albuminized prints, have been discussed. The value of the addition of carbonate of soda to the fixing bath has been confirmed, and an attempt to introduce hyposulphite of ammonia as a fixing salt has been made. Its value remains yet to be accurately determined. The introduction into commerce of sensitive prepared papers—such as the Obernetter paper, by our collodio- chloride process ; and the Carrier paper, by an albumin ized process—has made some progress during the year, but has not yet become common. Carbon printing has continued to excite attention, and modes of simplifying the operations have been sought by Mr. Blair, Dr. Vogel, and others, with a fair degree of success. The application of Swan’s process to the pur- noses of art reproduction has been already extensively and successfully carried out by the Autotype Company, M. Braun, and others, and promises to exercise a most im- portant influence on the progress of art education. Photo mechanical printing processes have not made much pro gress during the year, Mr. Fruwirth's photo-block printing or phototype process being the chief substantial and prac tical addition to the modes already in use. Various new processes for photo-mechanical printing with half-tone have been attempted, but none as yet appear to have come into practical use. The production of photographic enamels has received considerable attention during the year, and will probably receive still more attention. Already, considerable pro gress has been made in this country, the results obtained by Mr. Henderson possessing a very high degree of merit. Enlarging processes have not progressed much during the year. Increased attention has been given to develop ment printing for such purposes ; and enlargement by camera printing on collodion has been more practised. The Eburneum process has excited much attention during the year, and become more generally practised. A marked advance in the artistic character of photo graphic portraiture has been manifested during the year, and especially illustrated at a recent exhibition of the Photographic Society. The influence of the works of M. Adam-Salomon was very beneficially apparent. The introduction of natural backgrounds into portraits has received much attention, and has in many cases been effected with much skill and taste. Our pages during the year have contained many valuable suggestions for pro ducing this effect, both by ingenious methods of double printing, and by the production of double negatives. Modes of lighting and the construction of glass houses have been less discussed than usual. Some very important researches intimately connected with the latter point have received attention, 'and Mr. Gaffield’s observations on the changes produced on glass by the action of sunlight will probably prove of great value to the photographer in his future selection of glass. Inquiry, research, and invention have been active in a variety of matters of minor interest in photography. India-rubber mounting has continued to excite some atten tion, but is generally condemned as unsatisfactory. The presence of hyposulphite in mounting cards, and modes of detecting it, have received attention. Transferring nega tives, the manufacture of leather collodion, the preparation and use of encaustic paste, the use of the magnesium light for enlarging, an improved form of stereoscope, and several other novelties of interest in connection with the advance ment of the art, have been brought under the attention of photographers, and more or less actively discussed. The question of forming a Relief Fund for photo graphers has been > a ivassed considerably during the year, and a warm inter, -I in it expressed by many. Two diffi culties only seem to stand in the way of its establishment, and neither of these involves any probable lack of funds amongst photographers, or want of disposition to con tribute them to such a purpose. The difficulties consist, first, in the absence of a definite and satisfactory pro gramme, and the consequent uncertainty as to how funds would be applied; and, second, in the want of a committee of trustworthy men to undertake the management of the matter. Both these difficulties will shortly, we hope, be removed. A large-hearted amateur, a little more than two months since, offered to contribute fifty pounds to such a fund, if a suitable committee were formed within six months. Since then another generous promise has reached us, offering twenty-five pounds more on the same condi tions. Numerous promises of smaller sums, both for dona tion and subscription, have been forwarded to us. We shall be glad to continue to receive, not money, but intima tions of willingness to contribute in case a satisfactory committee be formed. The extent of the promises of this kind forwarded to us will materially affect the question of forming a committee. If a goodly amount of money be promised, we think a committee of good men can be formed to administer it. The social status of photography and photographers has been further discussed during the year, and in connection therewith has arisen the question of prices, quality, and competition. In the main we believe the conviction is gaining ground that low prices and unfair competition con stitute a suicidal as well as a fratricidal policy, by which no one—neither the public nor the profession—is benefited. As competition in prices generally tends to the production of hastily, carelessly, and imperfectly conducted work, the public is injured; as such competition acts and reacts throughout the profession, injuring alike purse, health, and reputation, the photographer is injured, and sometimes ruined; and as bad and unstable work is charged to the art generally, and not to the infatuated or incapable pro ducer, photography is injured, and an evil reputation fixed on it which will not be readily removed. Photographers generally begin to see this, and we believe that higher aims will prevail. Death has robbed the art of some whose names have been distinguished in connection with its practice. Mr. Thurston Thompson, of South Kensington Museum, died early in the year; Mr. Ponting, of Bristol, followed; and, since, Mr. Barber, of Islington. Many others, too, less known to photographers generally, have been removed from the ranks. The present number of our journal reaches the reader in time to permit us to offer to each and all of them—contri butors, correspondents, and readers—-our heartiest expres sions of good-will, and our wish that each may enjoy a prosperous and happy new year. PAPER SENSITIZED WITH CARBONATE OF SILVER. MM. Schaeffner and Mohr have recently brought under the attention of the French Society a new description of sensi tive albuminized paper, which appears to possess consider able interest and promise of value. In the Monitcur, speak ing of the matter, they say : “ The importance of this paper will be sufficiently appreciated when we remember the many inconveniences attending the ordinary method of printing. The principal drawback to our present process is the very short time which the prepared paper will keep in a service able condition ; a change of weather, especially during the short winter days, often entailing upon the photographer considerable loss. For a considerable period experiments have been made for the purpose of endowing sensitive albu minized paper with better keeping qualities ; and if, at the
