Preparing Spring Flowers for Market, by Messrs. Robinson and Cherrill, in the photographic exhibition, 1873. 'The photographer...most directly competes with the artist in what are called "combination-pictures" i.e., two or more negatives united to produce a single positive which shall have the character, more or less, of a pictorial composition. As usual, Messrs. Robinson and Cherrill carry off the palm in this department, this time with the large work "Preparing Spring Flowers for Market," which we have engraved. Photographers will best understand the manipulative difficulties surmounted here, but none will fail to perceive the taste of the arrangement or to admire the courage of the attempt, vain though it must necessarily be. There is, however, one serious objection to all such composite prints. The negatives being taken at different times and under different conditions, they must, when combined, be relatively false to each other as regards the general illumination, and thus the result loses that first great value of photography, the being perfectly truthful and trustworthy within the limits of its own laws'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
