Catalogue of the Second San Francisco Photographic Salon at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Second San Francisco Photographic Salon at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art: January Ninth to Twenty-Third, 1902The gratifying and successful results which followed the efforts of the California Camera Club a year ago to present what was best in photographic art, have encouraged its Directors to make more earnest endeavors to gather together the material for the second san fran cisco photographic salon.It must not be forgotten that much of the success of this venture was due to the hearty co - operation of the San Francisco Art Association. The satisfactory results which followed tended to raise a standard which shows how diligently the photographer is striving to earn the right to link his craft with that Of the draughtsman and the painter.The Committees have been indefatigable in their efforts to secure a representative and worthy exhibition of prints. The thoughtful photo grapher who views this collection can not fail to realize that other enthusiastic votaries of the dark-room in the far off corners of the earth have also been working for the same result.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
