ILLUSTRATED PRESS
ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHS PUBLISHED. GOVERNOR-GENERAL’S TRIBUTE. (Per Vailed Prcs> Association.) Wellington, September 2. A tribute to the Press of New Zealand for the standard of its illustrations was paid by the Governor-General in opening the special exhibition of photographs arranged by the Wellington Camera Club. The photography in this country said Lord Bledisloe was a medium of art and while speaking of this he would like to congratulate the Press of New Zealand on presenting to the public'really valuable and artistic photographs. “1 notice some reference in the Press,” his Excellency said, “to the possibility cf developing a Royal Academy of New Zealand art. I venture to hope that those who are interested in such a development wtl not be in too great a hurry to carry it out. You must all realize that art is of 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 the time will come when there will be real scope for the setting up of a national academy of art in New Zealand.”
