Excerpt from Remarks on Some Evidence Recently Communicated to the Photographic Society<br><br>Miss Wilkinson is represented as giving away the camera as rubbish; from which the natural inference is, that she was ignorant of the use of a camera, and did not know one by sight; whereas, she frequently used the camera and well knew its nature. I have been informed by a lady, a friend of the family, that she remembers seeing Miss Wil kinson taking what she called sun pictures on the lawn in front of Soho House, at a time, to the best of her belief, twenty-eight years ago and Mr. Smith has obtained evidence purporting to show that Miss Wilkinson used the camera for photo graphic purposes at a still earlier period.<br><br>It is stated that the library in which the supposed photographs were found remained unopened for fifty years, and was then opened by Price himself. Thisrepresentation of the case is by no means accurate. The library in question was not hermetically sealed. The room itself was in constant use and the books freely accessible. The cupboards were rarely opened, but were so occasionally; and I do not myself doubt that Miss Wilkinson had access to the cupboard in which the camera, mentioned in the evidence, was kept, and made use of that very camera in her photographic experiments.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
