THE WARWICKSHIRE PHOTO-SURVEY. 
Oct., 1891 . 
PROGRESS OF THE WARWICKSHIRE 
PHOTO-SURVEY. 
Since the publication in these pages of Mr. Jerome 
Harrison’s plan for conducting a local Photographic Survey, 
good progress has been made on the lines then indicated. 
The Birmingham Photographic Society has directed the 
attention of its members mainlv to the Hundred of Hemling- 
ford, which embraces the northern division of the county. 
Some hundreds of negatives of points of interest in this area 
have been secured—churches, manor-houses, cottages, village 
streets, geological sections, etc. 
Three processes are now known by which 'permanent prints 
can be produced from photographic negatives. These are 
(1) Carbon prints; (2) Platinum prints; and (3) Bromide 
prints. It has been resolved to accept such prints only 
for the purposes of the Survey. 
The work of the Survey has lately received an impetus by 
the return of Mr. J. B. Stone from his tour in Japan 
and round the world. Mr. Stone took with him more than 
one camera, and he has secured a great number of pictures of 
objects of interest; his views of volcanic phenomena being 
especially novel and remarkable. Under his direction the 
Warwickshire photographs are now being collected by the 
local committee for the purposes of mounting and arrange¬ 
ment. It is intended that one complete set shall be placed at 
the disposal of the municipal authorities, but before this 
is done we trust that it is possible that they may be publicly 
exhibited. Every worker for, or on, this Survey deserves 
great credit for the efforts which are being made to obtain 
a faithful pictorial record of the state of Warwickshire 
during the last decade of the nineteenth century. Messrs. 
S. G. Mason (treasurer), J. H. Pickard (lion, secretary), 
J. T. Mousley, J. Simkin, E. Underwood, A. J. Leeson, 
with many others, have worked, and are working, hard at the 
matter ; and in another-number we hope to give some details 
of the work done by each contributor of prints to the Survey 
portfolios, with lists of their subjects, etc.
