EPS has held exhibitions
annually since 1861. The
first exhibition was staged when the Society was less than six weeks old,
and included more than seven hundred prints - or, as the report of the
meeting states: choice
specimens of photographic skill.

photographers must have had good contacts to assemble an exhibition with

It was reported that:
“Among
the various artists whose pictures adorned the rooms were the names of :
-
Fenton
-
Bedford
-
Mudd
-
Horatio Ross
-
Tunny
-
AY Herries
-
Piper
-
Rodger
-
Ramage
-
Silvy
-
Bisson
-
