Open Exhibition

The
Annual Open Exhibition of Pictorial Photography and Art Union was held from 24 February until
9 March 1912 at EPS premises, 38
Castle Street |

There were 227 entries, 61
more than in 1911. The exhibition was praised in the press for its
general high level of merit, but Transactions of the EPS [ March 1912]
described the judges as adopting a most conservative policy. They
awarded only five medals, three of these being for the Lantern Slide
section. |
