PHILADELPHIA, August II, 1876.
At the eastern end of the Memorial
Hallstands amodest, unpretentious build
ing, dedicated for the time being to pho,
tographic art. This is an art that, like
telegraphy, has grown from almost Moth
ing to its present collosal proportions in
the memory of living men. 1t seems
only like few years ago since / looked
on the first daguerreotype, and I recol-s
lect how 1 twisted and turned it.; and
p held it in different lights to make out the
face that was not quite sure was there
or moi. Then came attempts at photog-.
raphy, the first / ever saw being called
aTalbetype. 1T was supposed to be the
picture of a countryahouse, butit looked
like, mud-scow3 struck by lightning.
Then came the Hilotype, type of which,
it successfully carried out according to-
the orisinal, design of the inventor, I'd would
$ have sent a, man without benefit of the
clergy to the States prison or a lunatics
asylum. The men, who have made the
art what It Is TO-DAY are MAJ MANY, OF them,
fortunately still alive. thew are / our
friends and our neirhbors, and while,
rantinr v,erv b;gb N our , estimation aJ as
artists and as men. they have always
seemed much nearer to us than the.
