COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHY.

“"An interesting announcement was made by Mr Gullick (New South Wales Government Printer), at the annual picnic of the Government printing office, at Oabarita. He stated that a few of them in the Department had, behind the scenes, practically achieved natural color photography, and he was only waiting tor apparatus to arrive from the Old Country in order to put thejwork before the general public on a large scale. For five years he had been closely “plugging away” at the new art, for the past three years particularly so, and he and the [officers of the Department associated with him had produced results which would, awaken sentiments of pride, pleasure and interest in the people of the State of New South Wales. (Applause), i There was absolutely no risk about it-, now. He had sent a member of his. staff to Mount Kosciusko, who had 1 brought back 50 exquisite pictures, showing the colors of Nature absolutely as they were. When the public saw the photographs it would be realised that a great result had ■ been achieved on lines which were i scarcely known in the world as yet,, although they had been introduced in Germany. (Applause). Few had attempted the work out* side the technical schools of Berlin. He wanted the Government to understand that its printing office could follow in the steps of the highest: trained i experts that could, be brought forward.* (Applause). In due course he would ask. the members of the Ministry to attend and see what had been gained, and what could he done with the’ new art in the future. (Applause).
