Exhibition Opening

R Berry, EPS President, in opening the exhibition said that during the Society's 54 year history, saying

   Many wonderful advances had been made in the science of photography which had brought it to a high state of perfection. 

He referred to two particular advances:

-  One of these advances was the introduction of what was known as colour photography, a discovery which had added greatly to the artistic value of the art.

-  The second startling development  -  a most revolutionary one  -  was the invention of moving pictures, which had given rise to the world-wide cinematographic craze in which many millions were invested yearly.

Exhibition Comments

R Glode Guyer, EPS Vice President commented at the opening of the exhibition that it was one of the largest, and by general consensus, one of the strongest exhibitions in the Society's Rooms. 

The number of awards gained by EPS Members was the highest on records.
