An amusing look at the annual creation process. While large numbers of
photographs were no doubt taken, the disposition of the negatives is unclear.
Apparently they were sometimes held by the studio, and prints of those
negatives of interest were ordered. Since in some cases not even the studios
exist any longer, it seems unlikely that any negatives exist either, and
the only surviving photographs are those in the annuals, and perhaps some
ordered by the students. Unfortunately, the quality of the photographs in
the annuals is very uneven. Those annuals using glossy paper retain better
quality photographs than those using soft paper, although in no case are
they anywhere near the quality of the orignals.
Still, it's all there is now for the most part. |
