Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Photograms of the Year, 1918: The Annual Review of the World´s Pictorial Photographic Work It has sufficed, in the last four volumes of Photograms of the Year - each produced during the Great War - to deal with the concerns of the moment. The outlook was dark. Today we may venture to look into the future with a greater confidence, and hopefully as to the progress that may be made in the realms of Photography. Cinderella is growing up. The time is surely coming when she may take her rightful place in the Palace of the Arts of Peace. During the long and dreadful period of the war she has, oppressed by her two ugly sisters, Dora and Censor, remained ever the uncomplaining drudge, but developing in beauty nevertheless, as the following pages will bear witness. Her Prince, apparelled in aerial blue, has appeared, and to-day her devotion to duty and greatness of achievement are acclaimed on all sides. Without the camera - the eye of our victorious armies - we doubt whether the Teuton beast would yet be retreating to his lair. Now, free from war-time trammels, we look to the coming days for a great forward movement of our Cinderella. In the sphere of pictorial work this activity will not be the least marked. Ideas have become broadened and ideals confirmed. The exposure has been made on the horrors of war, the lens is capped, and a new film is being placed in position. What will the picture be? Photograms of the Year, in subsequent issues, will doubtless give some accurate indication of the development. Exigencies of space alone have prevented the inclusion in this volume of more examples from the great number of pictures submitted this year. We have therefore to express regret to those workers whose pictures have been omitted, and our thanks to them are just as sincere as to the authors of the pictures we have been able to reproduce.
