Description | Authority has been granted for them to reproduce the portraits from the collection they desire for the purpose mentioned in their letter of 5 October. It might be possible to obtain cliches of some of the series of photographs of pictures taken years ago by Sir William [de Wiveleslie] Abney. However a member of Council, who is interested in photographic affairs, is of the opinion that Baker would do better to rely on fresh photographs, as methods have greatly advanced in the last few years. |
