In this age OF photographs, when thousands
of picturee are done, for one that Was doneahfty
years ago, there has grown up class, hall
artiatic, half commercial, to supply the great
demand. and success is more certain IN pho
toeraphy by combination Of these qualities.
In former times the. commercial man and the
artist had little in common with each other.
They looked at matters from different point Of
view, and, though no: antagonistio. but far
otherwise, for wealth must accumulate before
art can exist, in any high degree. Yet their
sims and culture were so very different that
when their interests happened to clash, they
we're ant to have little sympathy for each other,
for each had to be guided by the rules and GUS
toms which governed their respective cal1ings.
Few are aware. perhaps thst there is differ
eucs between the rules. laws. or customs which
regulate the dealings Of the artist and the man
OF commerce. but that there is difference, and
what that difference is, and whsre it lies, it will
be my purpose to try to explain, aud also their
operations OF practice in countries where art has
been longer cultivated than in our own country.
The commercial man. il intelligent, will look
to the public good, for it ia connected directly
with his own good. Els chief aim. however. IS
to accumulate wealth and find the most certain
and ready means to add dollar to dollar, thou
sands upon thonsanda. Heis perpetua1ly on The
watch TO belize every chance to make profit.
This is sIl very laudable, but il carried to the
extreme the tendency is to nat1o" the mind and
IeaYen ita sympathy With others and all except
What It can turn to iss own exclusive adTansaEe.
