Camera Work: A Photographic Quarterly (1909 (Heft 28))

Proctor, Huntington; Hermann Schervee, Worcester; Simon Stein, Milwaukee.
Mr. Pirie MacDonald arranged and collected the American Professional
Section with the exception of Mr. Eugene’s exhibit. Mr. Eugene exhibited
in three classes, as an independent exhibitor as “professional;” in the exhibit
of the Bavarian State School of Photography as teacher; and as member of
the “International Group of Art Photographers.”
In the “Amateur” section, 75 plaquettes were awarded, the Americans
receiving nine of them; Henry Berger, Jr.; J. N. Field; Edwin E. Keller;
F. Augustin Lindburg; Gertrude E. Man; W. H. Porterfield; Edward B.
Sides; R. L. Sleeth, Jr.; and Augustus Thibaudeau. The American collec-
tion of amateur work represented about one hundred exhibitors and was
arranged by Mr. F. R. Fraprie.
The pictures of the “International Group” which constituted the sub-
division devoted to “Art Photography,” were “not in competition.” The
pictures of this group were collected by Herr Heinrich Kuhn, of Austria, at
the invitation of the exhibition authorities. The Hall of Honor was placed
at Mr. Kuhn’s disposal, and the 250 pictures housed therein. The collection
was universally conceded to have deserved this distinction and to have been
the keynote of the entire pictorial section. The following photographers had
been invited and were represented in the exhibit: Annie W. Brigman, San
Francisco, 6 pictures; Alvin Langdon Coburn, New York and London, 17;
F. Holland Day, Boston, 4; W. B. Dyer, Chicago, 1; Frank Eugene, of New
York and Munich, 7; Herbert G. French, Cincinnati, 4; Joseph T. Keiley,
Brooklyn, 6; George H. Seeley, Stockbridge, 6; Eduard J. Steichen, New
York and Paris, 30; Alfred Stieglitz, New York, 14; Clarence H. White,
New York, 23; J. Craig Annan, Glasgow, 7; George Davison, London, 5;
Robert Demachy, Paris, 10; Heinrich Kiihn, Austria, 23; Baron A. de
Meyer, London and Dresden, 8; Friedrich V. Spitzer, Vienna, 6.
From this collection several German Art Museums purchased prints.

OUR ILLUSTRATIONS

THROUGH the aid of Mrs. William Sharp and Mr. J. Craig An-
nan we are enabled to give the readers of Camera Work
another opportunity of enjoying some more of D. O. Hill’s beau-
tiful photographic work, done nearly seventy years ago. An-
nan has taken six of the original Hill negatives and has inter-
preted them in photogravure in a manner that leaves nothing
to be desired. The photogravures once more prove Annan’s mastery of the
most beautiful of all photographic processes—photogravure.
George Davison, at one time quite a prolific worker, in recent years only
occasionally produces a picture which he cares to let the public see. The
plate in this issue is one of those rare occasions. Annan is also responsible for
this photogravure, which is as full of quality as the Hill gravures.
