Paper read to EPS - 1888
Sidney
C Salmon read a paper entitled
'The
Photographic Harvest of 1888'
to
Edinburgh Photographic Society on 5 December 1888. He reviewed
recent literature and spoke of the Art side of photography:
"Years ago the Artist-Painter looked with undisguised contempt upon the
claims of the Photographer to be considered as an Artist but the Art side
of Photography has made rapid strides during the past few years. .....
It is a gratifying sign of the advance which photography is making in art
circles, to note that painters and sculptors are displaying a much keener
interest in photography than formerly. ....."
