EPS  -  1876 Open Exhibition

Exhibitors

Items  Exhibited

The British Journal of Photography reported [29 Dec 1876, p.621] that the exhibition completely occupied the Academy's rooms, and that nearly every civilised country was more or less adequately represented:

Professor Piazzi Smyth, the Astronomer Royal,  exhibited the original camera with which he photographed inside the pyramids, and his cloud camera fitted with a plano-concave converter to remove spherical distortion.  He also provided some of his photographic studies of sunlit cloud.

Messrs Ross & Pringle exhibited a complete set of their daguerreotype apparatus

Two volumes of portraits by Hill & Adamson, and several other books were displayed.
