340 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. [July 16, 1880. nation or four skins and a cushion of air; then through a cushion of air to the front combination, two more skins; and so is much diluted. I have recently had an achromatic lens made for my lantern—that is, in fact, two front combinations placed close together—and I find that I get more light and perfect definition; and another advantage—especially of showing through the screen—I can get nearer the sheet; that is to say, I can get a ten-feet picture at about twelve feet, instead of at twenty feet with the portrait combination. Now, a few words as to the slides, and, perhaps, that will bring me more in season. In these days of instantaneous gelatine plates, what photographer thinks of taking his sum mer trip without his camera ? We all know how pleased—and I think I may say proud—we are to show our friends the “ charming little bits,” the “ sea views,” and shady nooks taken during our jaunt ; and how delightful it is in the pleasant season of Christmas to show these said “ bits ” on the screen to our friends! Then, again, what delight, amusement, and instruction are given to our friends who, from various reasons, are “ stay-at-homes ”—how, in fact, our camera says—to slightly alter the Mahometan doctrine that “ if the mountain will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the mountain,” to — “ If I cannot go to Ober-Ammergau, or Paris, or the Rhine, they must come to me and so they do, in all their beauty and in far greater perfection and truth than can possibly be done by any hand-drawing, however skilful the artist. Now fire making of slides by the wet process is very easy. I prefer a weak iron developer, intensified with pyrogallic and silver, and if a blacker colour be required, intensify with a little of your acetate toning bath ; but do not forget to place your slide in hypo after intensifying. If your negative be a five-by-four or quarter-plate, first-class transparencies can be obtained by contact on a collodion emulsion plate, or a transparency by Mr. B. J. Edwards’s modified albumen process is not by any means to be despised. ROYAL CORNWALL POLYTECHNIC SOCIETY. Fbom the very carefully-prepared and well-executed volume forwarded us in the shape of the Forty-seventh Annual Report of this Society, we make some extracts, giving details of results we have already briefly chronicled. The following remarks occur in the Report of the Committee:— The high technical character of the exhibits in the Photo graphic Department was due, in great measure, to the carefully- revised list of awards prepared by the Judges in view of the rapid advancement recently made in the Photographic Art, and to tho personal interest of Mr. W. Brooks, of Reigate, who kindly undertook to assist the Society in inducing artists to send their pictures to the gallery. Amongst the leading photo graphers who for the first time exhibited their works were Messrs. Wratten and Wainwright, Hill and Saunders, Payne Jennings, W. Willis, Jun., and J. S. Hazard. Mr. Willis ex hibited some fine pictures by a new process—“ the Platinotype." A special feature in this department was the collection of photographic appliances, which included some ingenious and elaborate apparatus. Subjoined is the report of the judges, Messrs. R. Fox (chairman), W. Brooks, and G. Lanyon. The exhibition was, as will be seen, divided into tho three sections, pro fessional photography, amateur photography, and photo graphic appliances. Although there is a slight falling off in the number of exhibits compared with last year’s exhibition, the Judges are exceedingly pleased with the high technical excellence displayed, especially in the new dry plate processes, which seem to have come to the front during the past two or three years. The exhibits by the gelatine dry-plate process aro most remarkable. Under the name of platinotype a new printing process has been intro duced, combining permanency with simplicity. The Judges have great pleasure in congratulating the Society on the quality of the exhibits generally, if not on the number. In Section 1 (Professional) for the best landscape in the ex hibition there has been awarded to Mr. Payne-Jennings a first silver medal for a series of English and Irish scenery, No. 693, which, while possessing force and brilliancy, are extremely soft and delicate, and are of high artistic excellence. Messrs. Wratten and Wainwright are awarded a first silver medal for their instantaneous pictures, No. 625, of the University Boat Race, 1879, taken on gelatine emulsion plates. They are truly miraculous productions, and in two of the prints especially the river teems with life, and every wave is portrayed ; the Judges consider them the most perfect examples of instantaneous photography ever exhibited. Mr. Willis, Jun., exhibits some very fine examples of portraits and views printed by his new platinotype process, which are permanent. Platinum is here used in place of the fugitive silver compounds. A second silver 1 medal has been awarded to the process. For a frame of inte riors a second silver medal is awarded to Mr. R. 0. Lenthall, of Reigate, taken by the gelatine process. They are very excel lent productions. In interiors it is generally noticed that violent contrasts predominate, which is not the case here. In the Portraiture Department the exhibits are very few, especially in large work. A first bronze medal has been awarded to Mr. W. Gilliard for a portrait study, No. 590, taken direct, which pos sesses some very excellent qualities. Messrs. Hill and Saunders, of London, send a frame of particularly fine examples ot cabinet size, studies of children. Tho Judges consider them the finest examples of portraiture in the exhibition. As a rule, white draperies come out a meaningless white mass; but by the peculi arities of the gelatine process this defect is entirely overcome. A first bronze medal has been awarded to this exhibit. Mr. E. Greaves has also been awarded a first bronze medal for his studies from life. A second bronze medal is given to Messrs. Russell and Sons for a very fine group by the gelatine process. For an enlarged group, printed in carbon, of the members of the South London Photographic Society, by Mr. H. G. Cocking, a second bronze medal has been awarded. The Judges call special attention to some fine examples of portraiture taken at night by the Luxograph process, showing that a new sphere has been opened to this art. The specimens sent of a fancy dress ball are nearly, if not quite, equal to portraits taken by daylight. Tho Judges regret that, owing to some of the same pictures having been sent by two exhibitors, they were unable to make an award. Mr. Baker, of Birmingham, sends some examples of cabinet portraiture, which are very clear. Mr. H. G. Cocking also contributes three figures studies, but the Judges do not think them quite up to his standard. Mr. Hollyer has some charming little artistic sketches of rustic life. Mr. J. Milman Brown is again a contributor, and the Judges are pleased to see an improvement in his work, No. 582; “ A Country Road,” being the best. Mr. George Nesbitt exhibits some single figure studies, which are very fine. In Section 2 (Amateurs) Mr. W. J. A. Grant has sent some exceedingly fine photographs of the Arctic Regions, taken dur ing the expedition of 1878, for which ho has been given a second silver medal. Tho Judges have taken into consideration the extreme difficulty in working in such a cold region. Throe frames of views are exhibited by Mr. Andrew Pringle, of Italian and Swiss scenery, which aro of special excellence. Tho Judges have awarded him a second silver medal. Mr. II. Manfield, of Northampton, exhibits some transparencies for window decoration, They are very fine in colour and perfect in manipulation. These have a first bronze medal. Mr. H. A. II. , Daniell, of Bristol, sends six pictures of river scenery, happily chosen. It is the opinion of the Judges that if a little more exposure had been given to tho plates the success attained would have been great. The Judges are glad to see their old friend, Mr. T. M. Brownrigg, again adorning tho walls of the Society’s exhibition. Mr George F. Powell’s stereoscopic slides of ferns and flowers show merit. It is a pleasure to see Mr. Charles A. Fernley helping the Society by exhibiting some delicately thanipulated rustic studies, and tho J udges note that he has taken the hint given last year, and has added to the beauty of his productions by printing in skies. Mr. H. M. White's series of pheto-ceramics are numerous and interesting. Section 3 (Photographic Appliances). Tho exhibits of Mr. George Hare show wonderful ingenuity and excellent finish, and to tho dry plate changing-box has been awarded a first bronze medal. Messrs. Avery and Co. send examples of material suit able for photographic backgrounds, which aro highly com mended. The duplex lecture lantern of Mr. II. Kevil shows some useful novelties. To it the Judges have awarded a first bronze medal. Malden’s triple lantern by Mr. J. Middleton, of London, is a noble instrument, and shows several original points. It is in every way a most perfect instrument, and well deserves tho second silver medal which it has gained.
