The annual convention of the National Photographic Association of the United States, just held at Philadelphia, presents an illustration of esprit de corps which is without parallel amongst photographers in any part of the Old World. The Association, although but three years old, appears tovhave acquired a degree of vitality, of cohesion, and of importance truly surprising. Hundreds of photo graphers, from cities thousands of miles apart, gather together to discuss the questions which pertain to the ■well-being and progress of their art and profession, their meetings extending over a week. The occasion is one which manifestly possesses public interest, and excites public attention. We have not yet received any official report, but we have before us—for which we are indebted to the courtesy of Messrs. E. and H. T. Anthony—the re ports, given in the daily press of Philadelphia, of the meetings, lectures, and exhibitions, extending over nearly thirty columns of the different papers. Each year’s meet- 1 ing seems to indicate unquestionable progress and increased stability in the Association. We have before stated some of the objects of the Association ; here is an answer, given by the President, Abraham Bogardus, in the course of his annual address, to the question, What has the Association i so far effected ? “To such as ignorantly ask, ‘ What good has the Asso ciation done ?’ 1 answer, it has given us an opportunity to compare our work with each other ; it has made the most selfish man amongst us admit that others could do good work as well as he; it has created a desire in every mem ber to improve; it has, through its members, been the means of crushing some of the most outrageous and un just patents that ever burdened a profession; it has brought us in closer relations with the photographers of Europe ; it has given a tone of dignity to the profession, enabling us all to feel proud of our calling, for who does not remember when we were almost ashamed to acknow ledge the craft? At this live gathering—this splendid exhibition—who is not proud to be a member of the National Photographers’ Association of the United States? It has made us all study, will make us study more, and when we study we progress.” We have before asked the question, Is it possible to es tablish any such confederacy of photographers in this country ? And, if possible, is it desirable ? The aim of the Association is much more comprehensive than that of any of our societies, although it includes some of the same objects. English photographic societies confine themselves to the discussion of photography as science and art; the Association does this also, but it regards the science and art in relation to the interests of those who devote them ¬ selves to the profession or trade. Questions which legiti mately come under the consideration of the Association could have no place in the discussions of any of our societies. The consideration of prices and trade usage, the opposition to unfair patents, the establishment of a system of relief, the discussion of a system of apprentice ship, and other questions interesting to photographers as a community, but not necessarily touching photography as a science or art, are matters which come under the attention of the Association, but which our societies neces sarily, from their constitution, ignore. That some means of discussing these subjects and coming to a mutual under standing thereon would be of service to English photo graphers we cannot well doubt, but we must confess we scarcely see the probability of such an organization being formed. Part of the work of the Association is already effected by existing societies. Photography as art and science is freely discussed, exhibitions are held, and a weekly press affords the readiest possible means of venti lating subjects of every form of interest to the photo graphic community, and hence an association with the aims we have mentioned, although in many respects de sirable, is not of pressing necessity. Nevertheless, the matter is one well worth consideration. Every year which passes, rapidly changes the aspect of photography in many I respects. It is steadily passing out of the experimental stage of its history into the settled condition of a recog nized profession or trade, and new phases of interest re quire fresh conditions and fresh arrangements. We shall keep the American Association and its proceedings before our readers from time to time, and we invite the attention of thoughtful readers to the consideration of the possibili- ies such proceedings may suggest. PERMANENCY IN PHOTOGRAPHS. Tub question of permanency in reflation to photographs has been so much discussed, and fhe sigma of non-perma- nency so often imputed, that a feeling of jealous sensitive ness has arisen in the breasts of many lovers of the art, which renders them keenly alive to the danger of miscon ception or fallacious notions on the subject, and a degree of bitterness has not unfrequently been introduced into dis cussions relating thereto. One point will, however, be con ceded on all hands, namely, that in all comments on the subject of permanency, the term should be properly defined and properly understood. Permanency, it should be remembered, does not mean indestructibility. A thing is permanent, in the common acceptation of the term, which does not, from internal and inherent causes, decay ; and it is no impeachment of its permanency if it be not proof against the action of destructive agencies to which, under
