Abstract
BY the death, on July 9, of Mr. William Gamble, at the age of sixty-eight years, the world of printing-art has lost one of its most outstanding figures. His long association with the firm of Penrose and Co. (later A. W. Penrose and Co., Ltd.), and his editorship of the well-known “Penrose's Pictorial Annual”, witnessed a period of striking advance in colour photography and its application to printing. In this field, as in photogravure and process engraving, he was a recognised leader, and his technical advice was continually sought after until the time of his death. He was the author of a number of important books dealing with colour photography, engraving, lithography, and music engraving. He was a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and of the Optical Society, and was recently elected to the fellowship of the Institute of Physics.
