Elementary
Lectures, began in 1892 - the year that EPS moved into its new premises
at 38 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.
In later years, a wide range
of speakers gave these lectures. Many of the lectures included
demonstrations. Here are some
of the subjects covered in the last three seasons.
They include one of the early
lectures by Archibald MacLucas. He gave his first lecture in 1917, when
he was President. He was still giving lecturing
to EPS throughout his further spell as President from 1942 to 1945,
and gave his final lecture in 1953.
