Oe proposed "photographic aad pictorial 



Survey oj €ssex. 



\K connection with this subject, Mr. A. E. Briscoe, B Sc, the 

 author of the paper in the last part of the ESSEX NATURALIST, has 

 addressed a letter to the newspapers, appealing to photographers, 

 amateur and professional, who may have taken views of the recent 

 floods in Essex, to furnish prints for the proposed collection in the 

 Essex Museum. Mr. Briscoe says: "As it is of importance that 

 these prints should be permanent, I should prefer made by either the 

 platinotype or carbon processes. If prints by these processes cannot 

 be supplied, well-washed bromide prints will be acceptable as sub- 

 stitutes. On the back of the prints should be written, in pencil, the 

 date on which each negative was taken, the name and address of 

 the photographer, and the exact locality of the scenes photographed. 

 Any details that would be of interest should be sent on a separate 

 sheet of paper. All the prints should be sent Ufinioinited, so that a 

 uniform system may be adopted for their preservation in portfolios." 

 Prints in response to this appeal sh uld be sent to Mr. A. E. BRISCOE, 

 Miuucipal Technical Institute, West Hain^ Essex. 



We hope that all having the opportunity will respond to Mr. Briscoe's 



request, and pending the formal inauguration of the Survey, that 



members and others will commence to collect photographs of interest, 



in accordance with the plan laid down in the ''Proposals," so that 



'a good start may be made this year. 



We shall be happy to send a copy of Mr. Briscoe's paper to 

 anyone interested and willing to help. 



The meeting for the establishment of the "Survey" will, it is 

 hoped, be held in the autumn, and due notice will be sent to all 

 furnishing names and addresses for that purpose. — Editor.
