Mr. John Avery exhibited on the wall-screen a further instalment of 
his collection of water-colour drawings of Essex scenes, by Mr. Bamford, 
following on the series shown at the last meeting. These attracted great 
notice and were much admired. In proposing a vote of thanks to Mr. 
Avery, Mr. Thompson suggested that possibly the owner might permit a 
few of these drawings to be reproduced for the illustration of programmes 
and reports of future Field Meetings at the places represented. 
Colour Photography. —Miss E. Willmott, F.L.S., F.R.H.S., exhibited 
in the lantern, a magnificent series of pictures and views made by means 
of the Sanger-Shepherd Process of Colour Photography. Very many of the 
slides gave very beautiful representations of specimen plants and groups 
of plants in Miss Willmott's garden, others landscapes and sea views at 
Warley and Italy, and reproductions of oil paintings &c., at Warley Place. 
Many of the slides were exceedingly beautiful and realistic, and gave an 
excellent idea of the capabilities of the process. Miss Willmott made 
comments on the pictures and recounted the difficulties and triumphs 
attending the taking of the views and subjects. The audience was deeply 
interested, and many most flattering comments and warm thanks were 
expressed. The apparatus and the process appeared to be expensive and 
difficult, but the exhibit showed that in skilful hands this method of 
coloured photography was quite in the front rank of this wonderful and 
most useful invention.
