Elementary Lectures

1890s

1890s

Elementary Lectures, began in 1892 - the year that EPS  moved into its new premises at 38 North Castle Street.

From 1898 onwards, these lectures were described as Practical Photography Lectures and from 1919 as Practical Section Lectures.  They continued until 1925, the year that EPS left the premises at Castle Street.

Here are some of the subjects covered in the six years.

By referring to old EPS Transactions, EPS Syllabuses, etc., I have found most of the lectures from the 1960s until the early 1990s, and some of those for earlier years.
