August 28, 1891.] THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. 613 grasp its provisions, and it was therefore resolved that the matter be referred to the council for consideration. The first paper read was one by Mr. William Lang, upon “ The Photographic Work of Herschel and Talbot.” In it he mentions Fox Talbot’s and Herschel’s connection with Bath, and a contribution of the latter to the Edinburgh Philoso phical Journal on “ Hyposulphurous Acid and its Compounds.” These experiments, which were the result of an accident, led Herschel to the production of other hyposulphites than those of lime. Referring to the soda salt, he there stated that muriate of silver (now known as chloride of silver), newly precipitated, dissolved in this salt when in a somewhat concentrated solu tion in large quantity. He further showed that zinc could separate metallic silver on being immersed in the hyposulphite solution. Several other experiments and papers by Herschel and Talbot are here quoted, but it would lengthen so much this report that we refer you to the paper itself, which was printed inextenso in the photographic journals. It is worthy of notice that Mr. C. H. Talbot, son of the late Mr. Fox Talbot, was present at the reading of the above paper, and that he made some interesting remarks on his father’s work in connection with photography. A selection of lantern slides from calotype negatives, and portraits of Herschel, Fox Talbot, and interest ing scenes connected with them, were then shown on the screen. Mr. Bothamley’s paper on “ Recent Developments in Print ing Processes ” then followed. The processes described are the kallitype, which is based upon Hunt’s and Herschel's observations, that when a ferric salt is exposed to light, and thus reduced to a ferrous salt, and the ferrous salt is treated with a solution of nitrate of silver, metallic silver is precipi tated in quantity dependent on the quantity of ferrous salt that has been formed on each part of the surface ; the Feertype or diazotype, and the primuline process, both of which are based on the use of coal-tar colours. In the absence of Mr. Debenham, Mr. Traill Taylor read this gentleman’s paper on “ The Cult of Indistinctness,” which attacks the tenets of the school which has produced such pictures as “ The Poacher,” “A Breezy Corner,” and “ Dedham Bridge.” Perhaps, through not having been officially announced in the programme, this paper caused no discussion between the lovers of softness in pictures and the admirers of a superabundance of microscopical detail in photographic prints. The evening was devoted to a most interesting lecture, given by Mr. Albert Taylor in the absence of Mr. A. A. Com mon, on “ Recent Astronomical Photography,” illustrated most profusely with a large series of lantern slides of astro nomical photographic apparatus and reproductions of stellar photographs. Among the latter were some wonderful slides of the nebulae in Orion, and of the moon. Thursday was a busy day. Two excursions during the day, and report and discussions on “Standards” in the evening. The committe appointed to consider the adoption of the standard lens fitttings recommended by the Photographic Society of Great Britain, or to suggest alterations in that system, presented their report. Mr. Warnerke opened afterwards the discussion on proposed international standards, and advocated very strongly the adoption of the decimal system, and also of international standards. He particularly emphasised the fact that any photographic standard suggested would not confer complete benefit unless it were universally adopted ; and he therefore urged that this country be strongly represented at the forthcoming Congress in Brussels. Friday was a fine photographic day, and the excursions to Wells, Glastonbury, and Lacock Abbey were, consequently, well patronised. The annual dinner took place in the evening, the chair being occupied by the President, at whose right sat the Mayor of Bath. After the usual toasts followed a most enjoy able smoking concert. The last day of the Convention, Saturday, nothing outside the council meeting was on the programme, but many of the members were busy during the greater part of the day photo graphing the many remarkable architectural subjects in the town. Before we come to the second part of our report, we should like to state our deep gratitude to all those gentlemen who, by their kindness and hospitality, made our sojourn in Bath a most enjoyable one ; to the Mayor, Mr. Murch, for his cour teous reception ; to the local committees for their untiring energy, which resulted in every arrangement being found per fect ; and to the deans, bishops, and other gentlemen for the permissions granted. (Signed) H. M. Hastings. F. P. Cbm BR ano, JUN. The above report was illustrated by 114 slides made from negatives taken by the delegates during the Convention. The lantern was kindly lent by Mr. C. Lees Curtis. It is the same instrument as was used at the Bath meeting, and looked as perfect as when first made ; yet all it has had done to it since the Convention is the placing of a piece of sheet asbestos packing at the back between the woodwork and metal lining, to prevent a repetition of the "yaller light” incident. The con denser is quadruple, and was made by Mr. C. Baker from calculations by Mr. E. M. Nelson. F. A. Bridge. Hon. Sec. Photographic Club. Photographic Club.—Subject for Sept. 2nd, “ On Testing Lenses ” ; Sept. 9th, “ Printing by Development.” Outing, Saturday, 29th inst., Hampton Court; train from Waterloo, 2.10 p.m. London and Provincial Photographic Association.— September 3rd, “Dark Room Appliances” ; September 5th, outing to Greenwich Hospital, conducted by Mr. A. Haddon ; September 10th, “Keeping Qualities of Dry Plates.” Visitors cordially invited. The Camera must go with the Ticket.—Some years ago the director-general was the great man of a world’s fair, but considering an extraordinary line of special artistic develop ment since that time, the most important functionary now must be acknowledged to be the official photographer. The boss of this department for Chicago will be Mr. Camera Dry plate Arnold. Mr. Arnold’s special work will be to take the buildings as they are built. Who shall officially photograph the Fair at its height for the purchases of the general public is for later selection. Another and much more important ques tion relates to the general right of photography when Chicago shall open the show gates. The number of cameras of the amateur automatic persuasion is increasing in far greater ratio than the population. The adaptation of larger and more satis factory sizes to the portable button-pressing forms has pro gressed of late so successfully that the next few years may expect an enlargement of camera-carrying class, such as the already marvellous extension of the photographic fancy could scarcely suggest. The spirit of enterprise that animates the use of the camera is so vigorous, and the number of its devotees will be so great by 1893, that not only will thousands of photographers be among the visitors of the Chicago Fair, but thousands will visit the Fair for the simple reason that they are photographers, and know that they will find in such an aggregation of men and things a memorable opportunity for the creation of interesting negatives. We dissent, therefore, from the proposition of our esteemed contemporary, The Pho tographic Times, that in Chicago, as in Paris, the privilege of photography should be sold to applicants at sums fixed for amateurs and professionals. This branch of the artistic public is so large, and its work so desirable, that subjection to such discriminination from the rest of the population becomes an injustice. What more magnificent monument could be erected to the memory of Columbus than the recognition of the right of free photography ? It is an indispensable feature of the scientifically progressive society that enjoys the other time- honoured blessings of the United States. At the great Columbian event a tax on cameras is not to be thought of. Let us ail take views, if we desire, upon no other condition than the legal entrance into the grounds by the customary sur render of a ticket.— New Yorh Sun,
