Abstract
THE report of the proceedings of the Seventh International Congress of Photography, which was held last year, is now ready. It is noteworthy that the whole is in English, although some of the papers and speeches were originally in other languages. It contains an account of the opening and closing meetings, resolutions and recommendations, the introductory lecture by Mr. F. C. Tilney, “On the Relation of Technical Advance to further Artistic Achievement”, the papers read at the various sections and the discussions on them, and as appendices, various lists of members, officers, and committees. The sections comprise the theory, practice, and scientific applications of photography, photo-engraving, colour photography, kinematography, bibliography, record photography, etc. It was unanimously agreed that the next Congress shall be held in 1931 in Dresden, an interval of three years instead of seven, which, however, is fully justified by the large number of chemists and physicists who are now at work on the subject. The volume is a very valuable addition to the literature of photography.
