some advance, but then we thought so
ten, fifteen and twenty years ago. |
can remember when we thought we had
reached the top of the ladder and were
doing perfect work, but when we look
at that work to-day we are ashamed of
it, and well may be, The photographs
which were taken twenty years ago are
old and faded, and cannot be compared
In any respect with those of to-day, |
suppose twenty years hence those of us
who arc living then will smile rs they
look at what we now admire IN photo
graphy. We are constantly making
advances in the art, and while they are
not perhaps so noticeable rs those made
in other branches Of science, they are
none The less advances. which become
easily apparent when the work Of to-day
Is contrasted with that of q score Of
years ago, anticipate still greater adj
vanccs In the future, and | believe the
time will come when the press will not
only chronicle the events of the day all
over the world, as 1t now does, but by
the combined aid Of the telcgraphy and
photography will daily present It's read
