OUR ILLUSTRATIONS.
THE photogravures representing Mr. George Davison's work
were made by T. & R. Annan & Sons, of Glasgow, Scot-
land, in which firm Mr. J. Craig Annan is the leading spirit.
They were reproduced from Mr. Davison’s original prints.
Mr. Davison was one of the early champions in England of
pictorial photography. His active work in the field of camera
picture-making, together with his forceful and lucid editorials
in the photographic weekly, Photography, and his efforts in the capacity of
secretary of the London Camera Club when that club was in its heyday,
have left their impress upon the history of the art. When the Kodak Com-
pany was incorporated in Great Britain, he was made its active head. Since
then, although he is still one of the British mainstays of the Linked Ring
— of which body he was one of the original members—his connection with
pictorial photography has necessarily been rather indirect than direct.
The two pictures by Mrs. Sarah C. Sears, of Boston, are photogravures
made directly from her original negatives. Neither the negatives nor
photogravures have been manipulated in any way.
The pictures by Mr. William B. Dyer, of Chicago, are reproduced in
photogravure from his original gum prints, in which printing method
Mr. Dyer has evolved his own technique. In a future number of Camera
Work we expect to present to our readers a more comprehensive represen-
tation of this Western secessionist's work.
