Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Photograms of the Year 1915: The Annual Review of the World´s Pictorial Photographic Work At the time when the last volume of "Photograms of the Year" was issued it was difficult to suggest the course that any one of the arts of peace would take in the future. The first shock of warfare, by its stern reality, tended to stifle imagination in these matters. Yet the dominant characteristics of the British people have been reflected in the tributary of activity that photography represents, and that the habit of picture-making, so strongly fostered by the camera, would survive, we were convinced. The present volume of "Photograms of the Year" demonstrates the correctness of this assumption and indicates the position at the end of the year 1915. The war has indeed proved photography´s right to be considered a national pastime apart from its claims as an art, as a science, and a profession. Where other forms of art have languished, and sports and hobbies of all kinds have met with the frown of disapproval, the only bar to the full employment of the camera by those who have been able, has been the official one - exercised vicariously. There has been no falling off therefore in the quantity of pictures submitted to us for inclusion in this Annual, and the quality has been as high as ever. Exigencies of space alone have prevented the inclusion of more examples from the great number submitted from all parts of the world. We have therefore to express regret to those workers whose pictures have been omitted, but our thanks to them are just as sincere as to the authors of the pictures we have been able to reproduce.
