Abstract
PHOTOGRAPHY as a practical art of interest to others than a few investigators dates from 1839, when the Daguerreotype was introduced. Its development and applications were well illustrated at the Great Exhibition of 1851, but since that time there have been very few attempts, and none altogether successful, to show its further progress. . The Royal Photographic Society has held more than forty annual exhibitions, but as each of these has dealt with its current year only, the Council of the Society considered it desirable to arrange an exhibition that should demonstrate, not only the last year's advances, but the present position of photography and its applications as well as the history of its development.
