144 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. £ £ 305 to 160 £970 400 370 40 tions Exhibition Advertisements, &c., &c. From guarantee Futa Balance THE PHOTOGRAPHERS’ BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION. The following is the report of the committee for 1890 of the above Association, to be submitted to the annual general meeting on Friday next, February 27th, at 50, Great Russell Street, London :— In reviewing the work of the year 1890, and in presenting the balance sheet, it will be desirable to recall the position of the Association at the commencement of the past year. At the annual meeting, and at subsequent adjournments thereof, the new rules were passed, and they have since been duly registered. These rules, it will be remembered, were framed with the object of extending the limit of the Association’s usefulness, as it was then felt that the sum of £18 distributed in relief would hardly justify the continued conduct of its affairs on the same lines as hitherto. It will be seen by the balance sheet that the new scheme has had the effect then anticipated, and we, your committee, can now point with satisfaction to the fact that, after proper enquiry into each case brought before us, we have disbursed in grants and loans nearly seven times the amount thus distributed in 1890. With regard to expenditure, the printing of the new rules and providing collecting boxes and printed boards setting forth the objects of the Association, necessitated an exceptional outlay, which accounts for the large amount put down for printing, &c. The balance carried forward to the present year, in consequence of the large increase in the grants, shows a considerable reduction, being £84 4s. lOd. compared with £125 12s. lid. brought forward from 1889. Turning now to the receipts, if we exclude the sum trans ferred from the abandoned “ Orphans’ Fund ” which exception ally inflated the receipts for 1889, it will be seen that the donations and subscriptions have exceeded those of the previous year by £11 or £12. It is with much satisfaction that we refer to the amount derived from the annual benefit at the exhibition of the Photographic Society, from the Chester Convention, from the Drapers’ Hall Exhibition, and from the entertainment given by the Photographic Club. These are signs of apprecia tion of the position and work of the Photographers’ Benevolent Association, which may well be expected to act as an example and a stimulus to others. But, while the Association cannot be too grateful for the support given by these societies, and by donors and subscribers, many of whom are old contributors, it is incumbent on us to call attention to the fact that, unless we receive still farther help, it will be impossible to meet the claims for assistance which are now constantly coming before us, and which are likely to increase rather than to diminish. The pension fund, except for accrued interest, still stands as at the commencement of 1889, though we had hoped to be in a position to add to it on the present occasion ; but this course is manifestly out of the question while our expenditure so largely exceeds our income. Now that the Association can show what has been done during the past year, it is hoped that its claims to support will be recognised by many of those who have hitherto held aloof, and we earnestly trust that all photographers, and all who are interested in photography, will consider those claims, and will respond liberally to the appeal we now make for further funds, as it is only by a cordial recognition of our aims, followed by a liberal response to our appeal, that the objects of the Association . can be carried out with thorough efficiency. It is with much regret we record the death of Mr. T. J. 1 Collins, who for many years served the Association as deputy chairman of committee.—Signed, on behalf of the committee, William Bedford, Chairman. nary, and 13 non-resident, a total of 446, as against 418 in 1889. As to the Exhibition, I think we must look upon 1889 as marking the highest point of success we are likely to attain. Our last certainly suffered by the lovely St. Martin’s summer contemporaneous with the first three weeks of its opening ; boating and garden parties were in full swing, and nature, decking herself in autumnal beauty, invited worshippers to her shrine. Secondly, great as was the number of pictures, and marked as was the influence of artistic and impressionist ideas in their production, there was found by many to be a monotony of effort and effect, and a melancholy prevalence of a low key of colour expression. The record shows that mem bers repeated their visits to the Exhibition less frequently than usual. The lantern display was inferior to precedent. If the Society determined to obtain the finest possible collection of slides, representative of triumphant photographic work illus trating nature, science, and art; arrange for capable exponents of the subjects, and limit admission to the number that can be comfortably accommodated, the rooms would, in my opinion, be crowded four nights a week, at such prices for admission (one scale for the public, one for members) as would cover incidental expenses, and beneficially augment revenue. The museum fund is in existence, and doubtless waiting on the project of a Photographic Institute assuming some definite shape. Possibly, we may presently see the photographic com munity—amateur, professional, mercantile—loosening purse strings in that direction, and setting an example to city companies and to a wealthy public ; but I doubt if many of us have lively anticipations of so remarkable a demonstration. If no grand scheme is likely to be started and sustained in influential quarters, it may be possible to affiliate all photo graphic associations with the parent society, and give it the strength to initiate an institute that may develop with years into proportions adequate to the actual and potential activities of photographic science, and its applications to physical and intellectual needs. We have recently dispatched copies of the report on the need of a Photographic Institute, and the work it should do, to no less than 195 established photographic societies. If only one hundred of these could be affiliated to the parent society, with an average of fifty members each, upon mutually satisfactory terms, such a combination of numbers, income, and energy could at least do something to lay broad and strong the foundations of an efficient Institute. I am roving into fields of speculation, and had best come back to my figures, and submit an estimate of ways and means for the current year. In the first place, the cost of establish ing ourselves in these rooms, with furniture, fittings, and dark-room appliances, amounts to about £130, and this amount it is necessary to take from capital. Seeing that half of our outlay is on premises held by agreement for three years, a decent sum must be annually written off for depreciation, say, £25 a year, and allowing this and £25 for the unexpected, I estimate our balance sheet for 1891 will come out after this fashion :— Payments. Rent, Gas, Coal, Assistant- Secretary, General Expenses, No. 52 Exhibition, with Rent of Pall Mall Journal Depreciation and Unexpected Receipts. Entrance Fees and Subscrip- 470 145 50 £970 Photographic Club. —February 25th, monthly lantern meeting ; March 4th, “ Printing on Bough Surface Papers.” Obituary.—The death is recorded, on the 11th inst., at Edingthorpe Bectory, North Walsham, of the Bev. J. Lawson Sisson, aged 75. In the year 1853, the deceased published formul for making proto-nitrate of iron and formic acid deve lopers. (See Journal of the Photographic Society, vol. i., pages 66 and 151.) The Photographic Society of Great Britain.—The next technical meeting will be held on Tuesday, 24th inst., at 8 p.m., at 50, Great Bussell Street, Bloomsbury, W.C. The subject for discussion will be ‘ 1 The Dark Boom and its Fit tings.” A special lecture will be given by Mr. Leon Warnerke on March 4th, at 8 p.m., on “The Simplified Photo-collo- graphic Process.” It is hoped that a collection of English and foreign collotypes will be on exhibition. Anyone interested in the process will be admitted on presentation of visiting, card.
