322 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. [April 24, 1891. THE SECOND TRIENNIAL EXHIBITION AT GLOUCESTER. The Gloucestershire Photographic Society is again to be congratulated on the complete success which has crowned the efforts of its executive. The lofty and extremely well-lit room furnishes an admirable home for the pictures, but was not available for use until Saturday, so all the work had to be crowded into two days; the brilliant effect, however, which greeted the eye on entering the gallery on the opening night conclusively demonstrated what could be done by the well-directed efforts of a few really earnest workers. The formal proceedings attendant upon the opening were delightfully brief. The president of the Gloucester shire Science and Art Society, Mr. W. C. Lucy, in a few well-chosen words, declared the exhibition open, and after a few remarks from the Mayor of Gloucester, who told the audience that he was a photographer forty years ago, and also from the president, Mr. Walter B. Wood, the guests were invited to partake of refreshment before settling down to enjoy what was really the great feature of the evening, viz., a most delightful lecture on Iceland, illustrated by a remarkably fine series of slides recently executed by the lecturer, Mr. Paul Lange, who, in a bright and witty manner, told all the discomforts and perils that awaited him at every turn during the prosecution of his photographic labours. The audience had every reason to be delighted, for it was, without doubt, one of the brightest lectures ever delivered. Mr. Lange is a born lecturer. He was in touch with his audience from the moment when he opened his mouth, and held them under a delightful spell to the end. This mode of opening an exhibition is a most agreeable departure from older methods, where torrents of platitudes run their resistless course, and we earnestly recommend promoters of exhibitions to copy Gloucester. The judges were Messrs. H. P. Robinson, Valentine Blanchard, and Edward Brightman, and the following are the awards made by them : — Class 1—Portraits, Professional.—Silver medal, W. J. Byrne; bronze, W. W. Winter. Class 2—Portraits, Amateur.—Bronze medals, Shapoor N. Bhedwar and W. J. Jenkins. Class 3—Landscape, Professional.—Silver medal, J. P. Gib son ; bronze, A. Hendrey. Class 4—Landscape, Amateur, under 8} by 6 J.—Sih er medal, Karl Greger ; bronze, Martin J. Harding. Class 5 —Landscape, Amateur, 8} by 6} and above.— Silver medal, J. E. Austin ; bronze, E. Lloyd Edwards ; extra bronze, W. H. Banks. Class 6—Instantaneous.—Silver medal, Charles Reid; bronze, Lyddell Sawyer. Class 7—Iland-Oamera Wort, Objects in Motion.—Silver medal, J. M. Nicholson; bronze, J. White. Class 8—Architecture, under 8} by 6} (Series of 3).—Silver medal, Ernest Beck ; bronze, C. Court Cole. Class 9—Architecture, 8} by 6} and above (Series of 3).— Silver medal, W. J. Byrne; bronze, C. Court Cole. Class 10—Genre or Figure Picture.—Silver medal, Lyddell Sawyer ; extra silver, Shapoor N. Bhedwar ; bronze, R. H. Lord. Class 11—E>dargements (not Portrait), Amateur.—Silver medal, F. H. Worsley-Benison (subject to confirmation of Condition 5) ; bronze, W. H. Kitchen ; extra bronze, C. W. Huson. Class 12—Enlargements (not Portrait) Professional,—Bronze medal, Hedges and Sons. Class 13—Lantern Slides, Professional.—Silver medal, George E. Thompson ; bronze, Priestley and Sons. Class 14—Lantern Slides, Amateur. — Silver medal, J. E. Austin; bronze, Edgar G. Lee ; extra bronze, W. C. Beetham and Major Lysaght. Class 15—Scientific.—Bronze medal, Cecil V. Shadbolt. Class 17—Special,—Bronze medal, Maurice Bucquet. The entries in the lantern competition were so numerous that extra medals were awarded. Serious criticism was not possible at the conversazione, but on looking at the general effect by daylight one could not help feeling that the very large number of small pictures, nearly all of the grey tint of platinum pictures, gave an undoubtedly monotonous character to the general effect, and it was only when the pictures were inspected one by one that this feeling disappeared, for it must be admitted that the average of excellence has risen enormously since the last exhibition three years ago. This disappointing effect is largely due to the division of the pictures into classes, and the consequent necessity of keeping the pictures in each class together, as far as possible. The members of the Society have adorned the lantern stand with some of their pictures, and, with a most commendable modesty, have not entered them for competition. On this screen are some admirable architectural bits (Mr. W. B. Wood), and among them the celebrated Norman doorway at Ludlow Castle. Another screen is entirely filled by the splendid series of the Academicians, by Ralph W. Robinson ; many of these are so well-known that they do not need further comment. They are marked “not for competition.” The lecturer’s rostrum is well covered by the well-known work of Mr. H. P. Robinson—one of the judges—and these also are marked as out of the running. Mr. W. J. Byrne has surpassed himself in some portraits of children. Several of them are extremely simple in treatment, for there are no accessories to distract attention. They have the grace of unconscious pose, and the large eyed, trustful innocence expressed by two of them make them no longer children, but angels. Sir Joshua Reynolds, had he been there, would have been envious. Mr. Vandyke’s powerful portrait studies are well-known, and so also is the work of Mr. W. W. Winter. The group of two ladies in white dresses, with its powerful light and shade, shows well in this gallery, but, being nearer the eye, the touching shows too palpably. Why do it, Mr. Winter? The picture is so fine that surely it would be better with out this evident sophistication. There is a little picture of mother and child by this gentleman that is simply delightful. A roguish child, evidently a great pet, is lovingly squeezing the cheek of the fond, well-satisfied mother. During the run of the Exhibition, we predict that several “ mothers’ meetings” will be held in front of this picture. Window and Groves’ pictures are well known. There is one, however, of Mr. Gordon Craig in “ Ravenswood ’’ so broad in effect, and so powerful in light and shade, as to stand quite out from the frame. The beautiful mobile mouth, and the bright flashing eyes, make this by far the best of the many portraits done of this remarkably hand some young man. Mr. W. J. Jenkins has made a very good commencement in his portraits called “Old Heads ” and “ Young Heads.” They arc taken with a single lens, and the eye, in consequence, is not distracted by the painful sharpness only too apparent in a large proportion of the work of the professional photographer. Mr. Jenkins is an amateur, and is on the right track. Go in and win, Mr. Jenkins. Mr. J. P. Gibson has surpassed himself at this Exhibi-
