We have heard MrKinsey's photographs described as veritable works of art, as something more in fact than mere sun pictures, 'J his results from Mr Kinsey'p skill, ■ scientific knowledge of photography and artistic taste. There is now hanging up in the vestibule of Mr Kinsey's studio on Lambton Quay, a large flamed photo graphio enlargement of the meeting of the United Hunt Club at Island Bay.
