LORD BLEDISLOE’S TRIBUTE “VALUABLE AND ARTISTIC” Presit Association WELLINGTON. TodayTribute to tk|© Press of New Zealand for the standard of its illustrations was paid by the Governor-General, Lord BledisJ*>e r when opening the special exhibition of photographs arranged by the Wellington Camera Club. Photography in this country, said Lord Bledisijoe, was a medium of art. While spealdng of this, he would like to congratulate the Press of New Zealand on presenting to the public really valuable*aiid artistic photographs. “I notic'd some reference in the Press,” his Excellency said, “to the possibility* of developing a Royal Academy of New Zealand Art. I venture to hope the.t those who are interested in such h development will not be in too a hurry to carry it out. You must all realise that art is a slow growth In this country, as in all new countries, where the first three or four generations have been intent on developing the land. I hope that the time will come when there will be real scope for the setting up of a National Academy of Art in New Zealand.”
