1892 Members' Exhibitions

Opening

In the summer of 1892 Edinburgh Photographic Society hosted the Photographic Convention of the United Kingdom. 

The 1892-93 season opened with the EPS Members' Exhibition in November.  It opened, as the British Journal of Photography reported  "in the somewhat novel way with a smoking concert"                          [BJP, 1892, p748]

G W Wilson

British Journal of Photography (BJP) reported:         [BJP, 1892, pp762-3]

"... it was almost a new experience to have such a number of fine works  by G W Wilson of Aberdeen, such as 'Bait Gatherers on the Beach 'and the many pictures of fisher fold of Footdu (Fitdé) with their spoils from the deep (in one instance in a clothes basket) to the studies of the older people depicted in 'Peace' and 'Retired from the Sea' and all given in the nearest approach to the effect of sepia drawings with the added touch which photography alone can give.  ..."

Attendance

The exhibition was fairly well attended.  However, there were pleas for it to be kept open a little longer, on the grounds that it had probably not been sufficiently advertised. 

But EPS decided that this was not practical.  There being no admission charge, this would have proved too expensive.
