OUR ILLUSTRATIONS.
THROUGH THE kindness of Mr. J. Craig Annan we were per-
mitted to look over a collection of the work of that pioneer of pictorial
portrait-photography, Mr. D. O. Hill, the Scotch painter. So impressive
was the effect of this work done over fifty years ago that we inquired
of Mr. Annan whether it would not be permissible for us to reproduce
in Camera Work some of these charming photographs. Much to our
gratification we received the reply that he secure some of the original paper
negatives which were owned by a friend of his.
The three photogravures published in this number were accordingly
made for us from the original paper negatives by the firm of T. &
R. Annan & Sons, of Glasgow, and Mr. J. Craig Annan was good
enough to write for us the leading article of this number. By giving
our readers photogravures made directly from the original Hill negatives
we have afforded them a fair basis to compare this early pictorial
work with the accomplishments of to-day.
The process reproductions of the Hill pictures were made from
modern reprints of the original Hill negatives.
In contrast to the work of Hill we reproduce some of the landscapes
of Mr. A. Horsley Hinton, the editor of the Amateur Photographer,
London, and the founder of the so-called Hinton School of Landscape
Photography. The firm of Annan made the gravure plates from which
these reproductions were pulled. The original platinotype prints are
all of exceptionally large size and naturally in the reduction some of
their quality has been lost.
In reproducing three gum prints, one of M. Demachy and two
of Mr. Steichen, we afforded further opportunity to study the possibilities
of gum-printing and to realize the scope of individuality inherent to
this medium.
THINGS VERY MUCH WORTH LOOKING INTO.
THE ADVERTISING pages of Camera Work, which not only contain
the advertisements of first-class houses, but also many announcements
of personal interest to all photographers. That is the place to find
the details of competitions, as well as various new and interesting departures
in photographic fields. Our advertisers appreciate that the readers of
Camera Work are interested in nothing but the best, and accordingly
take this into consideration in using their space. We can but repeat
that we heartily recommend our readers to carefully study the following pages.
