Summer was exhibited in the 1903 Royal Photographic Society Exhibition in London from September to October. (1.)

This year the “Subject Picture” is given far greater prominence than at the rival “Salon.” “Field Labourers,” by Mr. Andrew Richmond, for instance, is merely an attempt to follow, photographically, Millet’s “Angelus,” and Mrs. G. A. Barton’s “The Awakening,” “Ave Maria,” and “Alma Mater ” are but models posed in the manner of paintings by Old Masters with halos and “glories inserted in the negatives. “Summer,” by Alfred Schneider, is a group of naked boys dancing in a woody glen; and “Dido,” by Frank Eugene, a naked woman posed before the camera.
