Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Photograms of the Year, 1916: The Annual Review of the World´s Pictorial Photographic Work For twenty-two consecutive years this Annual has been published to give, without bias, a true index of the trend and progress of pictorial photography throughout the civilised world. For the past three years, unfortunately, it has been produced under the war cloud that overhangs Europe, and it may well be asked, therefore, to what extent the world cataclysm has affected the output and character of contemporary pictorial art with the camera. An inspection of the reproductions in this volume, and the articles concerning them, will supply the answer. While we are a nation at war, it would be a bad outlook for the future if everything else became entirely obliterated by the obsession of warfare. It would tend to destroy that balance of mind that has served the nation so well in the present struggle. The presence and reminder of a habit or hobby that stands for all that peace meant in the past has both a soothing and revivifying effect, one to restore confidence for the future. We would also call to mind that a knowledge of photography has proved of inestimable value in the present war. Hundreds of amateur photographers have been able to devote their knowledge of photography to work of the greatest usefulness in furthering our own and the Allie´s cause. Its pursuit can therefore be looked on, in some measure, as of national importance. The number of pictures, both from this country and abroad, sent to us for selection for "Photograms of the Year" has on this occasion far exceeded that of the preceding two years. This fact speaks for itself, and we have to express our regrets to a still larger circle of friends this year than on previous occasions, that lack of space alone has in a great many instances prevented the inclusion of their contributions. Our thanks to these workers are nevertheless in no way less cordial than to those whose work we have been able to reproduce.
