Edinburgh Photographic Society 

1891 Members' Exhibition

Exhibition  -  November 1891

The only exhibition of photographs and lantern slides held in 1891 appears to have been restricted to entries from EPS Members.

The exhibition opened at the Architectural Hall, 42 George Street, on 4 November 1891, the evening of the society's AGM.

Voting papers were sent out with the November issue of Transactions.  Guests were also invited to the exhibition, admission free, but only EPS Members were permitted to vote.
