In short, I do not know when Mr. Robinson more signally failed to carry out his first intentions. Wanting in truth as the composition is, it proves another truth, and that is, the utter inability of photography to cope with such a subject. Mr. Robinson exhibited other pictures that would bear a very different kind of criticism; but as they have been noticed at other times I shall not touch upon them here. Herr Milster's picture bears the stamp of truth upon it, and is a beautiful little gem, convincing enough that the effect is perfectly natural. Mr. Ayling's pictures of the Victoria Tower and a portion of Westminster Abbey are really wonderful, and the bit of aerial perspective "Across the Water" in the former picture is truly beautiful. Mrs. Cameron persists in sticking to the out-of-the-way path she has chosen, but where it will lead her to at last is very difficult to determine. One of the heads of Henry Taylor which she exhibited was undoubtedly the best of her contributions. The pictures of yachts and interiors exhibited by Mr. Jabez Hughes were quite equal to all that could be expected from the camera of that clever, earnest, and indefatigable photographer. The portrait enlargements exhibited by that gentleman were exquisite, and of a totally different character from any other exhibitor's. Mr. England's dry plate pictures, by his modified albumen process, are undoubtedly the best of the kind that have been taken. They lack that appearance of the representation of _petrified_ scenes that most, if not all, previous dry processes exhibited, and look as "juicy" as "humid nature" can well be rendered with the wet process. Mr. Frank Howard exhibited four little gems that would be perfect but for the unnatural effect of the artificial skies he has introduced. The "Stranded Vessels" is nicely chosen, and one of the wood scenes is like a bit of Creswick uncoloured. Messrs. Locke and Whitfield exhibited some very finely and sketchily coloured photographs, quite up to their usual standard of artistic excellence, with the new feature of being painted on a ground of carbon printed from the negative by the patent carbon process of Mr. J. W. Swan. Mr. Adolphus Wing's cabinet pictures were very excellent specimens, and I think it a great pity that more of that very admirable style of portraiture was not exhibited. Mr. Henry Dixon's copy of Landseer's dog "Pixie," from the original painting, was very carefully and beautifully rendered. Mr. Faulkner's portraits, though of a very different character, were quite equal in artistic excellence to M. Salomon's. Mr. Bedford's landscapes presented their usual charm, and the tone of his prints seemed to surpass the general beauty of his every-day work. Mr. Blanchard also exhibited some excellent landscapes, and displayed his usual happy choice of subject and point of sight.
