Excerpt from The A B C of Artistic Photography in Theory and PracticeTherefore, instead of starting where D. 0. Hill left off some sixty years past, and going on to conquer the method of pure photography, the picture makers first employed themselves in the imitation of Vic torian Academicians, then in the combination of portions of various negatives in one print and lastly in manipulating effects by the oil or gum process that might have been attained with greater ease and certainty by stump or paint-brush. During this time the pursuit of plain, straightforward photography was principally neglected.Now, thanks to the steadfastness of certain English purists and the in¿uence of the American Photo Secession, there are signs of a return to the methods of D. 0. Hill. This is surely the commencement of a real photographic advance towards honest Art.Unfortunately, there is a gap between the photo graphic writers oi the older school and the purely practical or purely artistic writers of the present, and I am making a tentative effort to fill this gap until the new movement breeds its own literature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
