Convention Photos and Convention Dates

Alex Ayton

This photograph of delegates to the 1892 Photographic Convention of the United Kingdom was taken in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh  by Alexander Ayton jun.   [BJP 1892, opposite p 250]

The photograph was published in British Journal of Photography in 1892. Each year, the The BJP published a photograph of the Convention delegates.

Carbon Photograph

Exhibited at the Convention

The Practical Photographer referred to photographs on display during the Photographic Convention of the UK in 1892.  This was held in a room usually occupied by the Royal Geographical Society of Scotland.

The journal added:

"Perhaps the best photograph in the room was the very large and wonderfully successful group by Mr Alex Ayton junr., which was shown as a carbon enlargement.  Several very fine carbons were also shown by Messrs Elliott & Son and M&T Scott of Edinburgh."
