1948 Open Exhibition

Opening the Exhibition, the Lord Provost said:

“As the scientific and experimental side of photographic practice became more and more specialised and became the special province of the skilled staffs of the Manufacturers, the Edinburgh Photographic Society has concentrated more and more on the pictorial and artistic aspects of the craft with the object of demonstrating to the public that photography can be applied to the making of pictures of some artistic merit.”

Negatives

A survey of 500 prints submitted revealed the somewhat unexpected information that 23 different negative sizes were used in producing them.  These ranged from 1 x ¾ ins to 24 x 30 cms.  By far the greatest number of prints were made from 2 ¼ x 2 ¼ ins negatives (33%):  35mms. coming next in popularity at 20%.  

Prints

The most popular printing process was Bromide (65.8%) with Bromesko and Plastika both well represented whilst Bromoil and Bromoil Transfer together amounted to only 2%.
