This overview of their first exhibition includes photographs by leading figures including Alfred Stieglitz, James Craig Annan and Rudolf Eickemeyer Jr, and numerous others.

Nine were from America: including Emilie Clarkson, John Bullock, John Dumont, Rudolph Eickemeyer, Emma Farnsworth, Clarence Moore, William Post, Robert Redfield and Alfred Stieglitz. Works from Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia and Switzerland were hung. Algeria was represented by at least one photograph by the Frenchman Emile Frechon. The work of the deceased, but influential, British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) was acknowledged by the exposition committee members and she had an unknown number of works accepted for hanging.OCLC number 889431269; Met Watsonline record number b12671320. .

A striking photographic portrait of the human geneticist and eugenicist Francis Galton, taken by Frederick Hollyer, the great late 19th-century celebrity photographer. Hollyer (1837-1933) was highly regarded for his fine platinum print reproductions of paintings, particularly those by the Pre-Raphaelites, who he met in 1860 and whose work he did so much to popularize. His other speciality became portraiture, and he was the photographer of choice for the celebrity set. For 30 years, from 1882 onwards, he reserved Mondays for welcoming sitters at his studio in Pembroke Square. "Hollyer made a great many revealing and intimate portraits. His subjects included many of the most important artistic, literary and society figures of the day. [He] prided himself on his immaculate technical skills and advocated making 'untouched' negatives and prints" (Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography, p. 712). His series, Portraits of Many Persons of Note, comprises nearly 200 portraits and includes those of Aubrey Beardsley, Thomas Hardy, Lord Kelvin, William Morris, General Smuts, Ellen Terry, and W. B. Yeats, among others, and were applauded for their delicacy and subtle tonal range. This photograph of Galton was presumably taken as part of the series, and Galton lived only a short distance away, also in Kensington. The Victoria and Albert Museum hold one of the largest collections of Hollyer's work, including the three small albums of portraits that he assembled specially for his daughter. See Biographical Encyclopedia of Photographic Artists & Innovators (Macmillan, 1983), pp. 283-4.
