Royal Photographic Society Exhibition

Abstract

THE ninety first Exhibition of the Royal Photographic Society was opened on September 14 by Sir Henry Dale This exhibition, which is open to the public, can be regarded as the first fully post-war exhibition of the society, and a great effort has been made to make in an outstanding occasion, to compensatoror the previous six lean years during which time acute shortage of photographic materials and security measures had a marked effect on the quantity and quality of the exhibits. Contrary to the usual practice the exhibition is being held in a gallery of the Science Museum, Exhibition Road, London, S.W.7, where there is much more accommodation than is available at the Society's house in Prince's Gate. A special effort has been made to obtain more material, particularly in the Scientific and Technical Section, and some of the research carried out during the War and held up for security reasons has been released. This section is undoubtedly of a higher standard and contains more material than has ever before been shown in the Society's exhibition. The organisers as well as the exhibitors are to be congratulated on the result, which is well worth a visit. The exhibition is open on Monday to Friday 10 a.m.-8 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.—6 p.m., Sunday 2.30 p.m.—6 p.m., until October 26.
