Abstract
MR. TILNEY is both a painter and a photographer, but above all he is a critic whose writings on photographic subjects during the past twenty years or more have been the best informed and most understanding of any. Whilst this, his latest book, is not specially concerned with photography, in that it does not touch upon any photographic manipulations or processes, it is one that will be of the greatest assistance to all who aspire to make their use of the camera something more than an aimless snapshotting of holiday incidents. It is equally addressed to the student of art and to the lover of Nature, and to both it should bring gain in the intelligent appreciation of the pictorial aspect of their subjects.
The Principles of Photographic Pictorialism.
