Abstract
IN these 107 pages the compilers have brought together a series of essays which gives the reader a good idea of the camera art as practised in various countries. The idea in this work has been to request some photographers, well known in their own countries, to contribute each a chapter dealing with the present state of photography in their respective countries from the point of view of art, and the result is an interesting set. of opinions. Those who have written for this volume are Ernst Juhl, Hamburg; Edward J. Steichen, New York; Fritz Loescher, Berlin; Robert Domachy, Paris; Otto Scharf, Krefeld; Alfred Stieglitz, New York; Dr. Adolf Thiele, Kappel-Chemnitz; W. Bandelow, Krackow; and J. C. Warburg, London. With the increasing development of art-photography such a book as the one before us will undoubtedly be of interest to the widest circle of photographers whether amateur or proressional. Not only are the opinions of each contributor given in words, but in every case a series of excellent illustrations is added showing the various styles and types of pictures of well-known photographers. Thus, to take the case only of those exhibiting the British types, we have examples of the work of Warburg, Horsley-Hinton, W. A. Stewart, Page Croft, Archibald Cochrane, Craig Annan and Alexander Keighley.
