Thomos Moore Honored
On Two Irish Stamps
By jones WoIdo Fowcett

The postal authorities of
Ireland on November 10 brought
out two authentic commemora-
tives-stamps in memory of the
famous poet, Thomas Moore,
who died in 1852. One of the
new adhesives is 212 pence
red, the other 3l2 pence green.
The design reproduceS an Off
cial portrait in the National
Gallery in Dublin. A musician
as well as a talented writer of
verse, Moore first appeared in
fprint in 1893, when he was
only IA years old. Friendship
with Robert Emmet, the patriot
and martyr, influenced him in
his youth. Later. he was aided
by Lord Mora and Lord Lans-
downe. Moore earned a rela-
lively comfortable livelihood
singing his own ballads and
writing words TO rthe tunes of
William Power. His Irish
Melodies" was published in
1908. "Lalla Rookh" in 1917.
'Loves of the Angels" in 1922,
Letters and Journals of Lord
Byron" in 1880. All were i'm
mensely popular and still are
readable. Misfortune Shadowed

The Monthly
Print Clinic

Mr.. O'Connell's photograph
was made on an Isopan film
with an exposure Of 1/25 second
and a lens aperture of fill, on
an April evening. According to
his notes, the sky was overcast.
In order to render the architec-
tural detail as clearly as posi-
BILE, the projected print was
made on Defender T-2-a glossy
paper with normal contrast.
Analysis by Harry B. Shaw of
the Society-Although the sky
was said to be overcast when
the exposure was made, it is
obvious that rays of the evening
sun penetrated the clouds suffi-
GENTLY to cast sharply defined
shadows and to create strong
contrasts. This lighting brought
into clear relief the architectural
details of the women's porch
and the beautiful north rose
window.
The Cathedral is erected on
the summit Of Mount st. Alban,
which slopes away on all sides,
thus rendering it difficult to
place a camera advantageously
for a view of the entire edifice.
It is, therefore, preferable to
photograph selected portions of
the cathedral. In any event, the
use of a view camera with swing
back and other adjustments is
essential to compensate for nee
essary fitting of the camera.
In the opinion of the writer,
Mr.. O'Conhell should have Sc
lected from his negative only
the portion included in the area
indicated, thus making a vertical
instead of a horizontal picture.
The easel of the protector should
also have been tilted to compen-
safe for the fitting of the cam
era and neutralize the converg-
ence of the vertical lines. The
use of a light yellow filter would
have softened the extreme con-
trasts. The burning-in of the
upper portion of the sky or the
printing of appropriate clouds
from another negative would
have improved the picture.
AS printed, the conveyance OF
the vertical lines is unpleasant;
the strongly lighted cloister, in
sharp contrast with the vine
covered gateway in the lower
left, greatly detracts from the
beautifully depicted tower.
A monochrome print COM
petition will be- held by the
Alexandria Camera Club Tues
day evening at 8 o'clock in the
Alexandria Recreation Center,
Cameron and Harvard streets.
