WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
Within the last ten or twelve years
the art of photography has made enor-
nous strides, especially as applied to the
Illustration OF lectures.
The lectures Of Cromwell. Regain and
others were pioneers in what might be
termed the genesis of the illustrated
lecture; then came the lectures OF John
conjunction with illustrations SO vastly
superior as to create an unprecedented
popularity for this form OF education In
sugar-coated form.
Still the art Of coloring lantern slides
was in its infancy, and Photographic i'm
plements were still cumbersome and un-
adapted to the catching of scenses or
groups Of persons on the spur Of the mo-
ment, therefore. even Mr.. Stoddard was
obliged to rely on such photographs as
could be bought Of local photographers or
such as his accompanying photographer
could obtain at his leisure, in the foreign
lands visited by him.
The invention Of the kodak and other
quick-action cameras. the panoramic
camera for the photographing Of wide
expanse Of scenes and the eliminating
victory of realistic photography, the
motion-picture machine has made 1t pos
sible for tho lecturer on travel to bring
home to his audiences the beauties Of
foreign lands and the daily life Of their
Inhabitants, with a truth and realism al
most miraculous. But between the pro-
tographer and the lecturers audience
must intervene a most important factor,
the man behind the gun," the operator
Of the stereopticon and motion. picture
projecting machine.
Little credit Is accorded to this unseen
helper; the pictures are magnificent or
amusing as the case may be, and are
right moment to point moral or to
adorn the lecturers tale. but scarce
thought Is given to the man whose every
