Colour Photography.
The art of photography in the hands of scientific workmen has now been brought to perfection, and opportunities are now afforded the public to obtain portraits in natural colours at a price which only slightly exceeds that of the ordinary portrait. The Tesla Photographic Studios are now opened in the Ferro-Concrete Buildings, Heretauuga St., Hastings, under the management of Mr. R. I. Illingworth, who in addition to many years' experience brings with him a most modern and complete equipment of photographic material and apparatus. You are invited to call and inspect the work on view in the cases at the studio. A free enlargement will be given to every purchaser of a dozen cabinet portraits. —The Tesla Photographic Studios, Ferro-Concrete Buildings, Heretaunga street, Hastings.

A New Photographer.
The "Toska" Studios
Mr. R. Illingworth, who for some time was a manager for Mr Lampe, has started business on his own account in premises situate in Victoria Avenue (over A. A. Gower's and The Regent Tea Rooms). Mr. Illingworth comes from a family of great photographers. His father recently won the open medal of the world for portraiture at Turin and was awarded the Diploma of Honour at the Budapest Exhibition, so that his son who gained all his experience from him prior to his coming to the Dominion, should receive the fair support of the public of Wanganui and adjacent districts. Mr. Illingworth's coloured work (which he claims to be the only natural colouring in Australasia) is beautifully artistic and full of detail, it is executed in black and white, sepia, water colours and oils. In England he did a considerable amount of this class of work for some of the leading people. With regard to the studios, no expense has been spared to make them thoroughly up-to-date. The studio itself is restful, yet workmanlike, in short a tout ensemble indicating a definite aim, and that the means whereby the aim ran be attained have been carefully studied and are exactly carried out. Mr. Illingworth at once convinces one of his thoroughness, his attention to detail and of his devotion to photography. We are given to understand that, his charges for portraiture in all its branches is to be extremely moderate.

We have been shown a quantity of portraits of the townspeople, taken in a style worthy of the best Melbourne artistes, and indeed those anxious to have their faces and forms perpetuated should lose no time in visiting the studio.

Photography.- We were shewn to-day by Mr G. H. Daley a collection of photographic portraits, tastefully arranged in a rosewood and gilt frame. The first glance at the collection gave us a favorable impression, which was not diminished by a closer inspection. The portraits have been most carefully taken, the features of each subject shewing out with a clearness and distinctness only seen in portraits taken at first class studios. Wanganui people forming the subjects also added to the conception of the merits of Mr Daley's skill, the faces being so familiar any defect, was the more noticeable. Mr Daley having graduated at one of the best studios in Melbourne it is not, after all, surprising that he should, with the aid of clear Wanganui weather turn out such excellent specimens of the photographic art.

The following appears in the current number of the "New Zealand Primitive Methodist":—On Tuesday, January 19th, a very pretty wedding was celebrated at the residence of Mrs Paul,. Mangere, Auckland, when her daughter, Elizabeth Pilkington, was united in the bonds of matrimony to Arthur Edgar, the eldest son of our respected Dominion Church treasurer, Mr J. Watkinson, of Wapiti Avenue, Epsom. The bride was beautifully attired in cream silk, wearing the customary veil and orange blossoms, and carrying a tastefully arranged shower bouquet.

The chief bridesmaid, Miss Agnes Paul, sister off the bride, was dressed in heliotrope and the second bridesmaid looked charming in a pretty blue. Two little misses, Edna and Vera Daisley, cousins of the bridegroom, daintily attired, carried baskets of flowers. Mr Percy Watkinson acted as best man, and Mr Paul was groomsman. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. E. Drake. The company adjourned for afternoon tea, and the good wishes of those present were expressed by Mr W. F. Massey, M.P. (a near relative of the bride), Mr W. Thompson, and the Rev. E .Drake, the bridegroom gracefully, replying. Our young friends have taken up their residence in Wanganui, where the bridegroom is engaged in the photographic business.

Death

It is with much regret we have to announce the death of Mr A. E. Watkinson, the well-known photographer, who passed away yesterday at the early age of 37 years (sic). The deceased was about town till the middle of the week when he contracted pneumonia. The late Mr Watkinson was a quiet, unobtrusive man, of high principles while a photographer he was a clever artist. To his widow and family, parents and other relatives, we tender our sympathy.

Wanganui Chronicle, Volume LXVI, Issue 17421, 4 November 1918

The death of Mr. A. E. Watkinson, photographer, at his residence, Wanganui East, on Saturday, came as a great shock to many who had not heard of his short illness, and caused genuine and widespread regret. Only a few days ago, although not really well, he had been at his studio, but pneumonia set in and claimed another victim. The late Mr. Watkinson was very well known locally and throughout New Zealand as a photographer of no mean ability. He has left a widow to whom we offer our sympathy, as also to his aged parents residing at Auckland, who, during the last few months, have lost their youngest son: another New Zealand hero, who has fallen on the Field of Honour.

The Prime Minister to-day received word that his wife's sister (Mrs. Watkinson), of Wanganui, had succumbed to an attack of influenza. Her husband died about a fortnight ago, and the body was taken to Auckland for interment. It was apparently in Auckland that the late Mrs. Wilkinson contracted the disease.

Mrs Carlyle, whose death was announced from Wanganui this week, was a lady of considerable artistic capability and promise. Before her marriage, when she was Miss Emily Collis, she gained quite a reputation for her clever and humourous black and white work, some of which appeared in the Observer from time to time in the form of caricatures and sketches from New Plymouth. The deceased lady was the youngest daughter of the late Mr W. Collis, photographer [sic], of New Plymouth.

Observer, Volume XXIII, Issue 50, 29 August 1903, Page 4

Mr W. A. Collis has forwarded to us some specimens of his Christmas photograph cards, which are very artistically got up. The chief feature in the cards this year is the Jubilee gathering in the centre of the town in March last, although, of course considerably reduced, the figures are very distinct. The border of flowers around the picture is pretty, and adds to the attractiveness of the cards. Mr Collis has also views of a waterfall on the Waiwakaiho some of which have been artistically coloured by Miss E. Collis, and form a very pretty picture. On one of the boughs of a tree are the words "Compliments of the Season." There should be a large demand for these cards.

Taranaki Herald, Volume XL, Issue 9208, 20 October 1891, Page 2 

We understand that the Misses Davis and Collis, both well and favourably known in connection with the photographic art, and who were recently with Mr Martin at his studio in the Avenue, have decided to commence business for themselves. To that end they have leased promises in Ridgway Street, next Mr Hogg's confectionery establishment, and will open the same next week under the title of the Ridgway Studio. It is to the credit of these ladies that they have the enterprise to thus start business for themselves, and, knowing their capabilities, we wish them every success.

Wanganui Herald, Volume XXXIII, Issue 9912, 30 November 1899, Page 2

 


A new departure in the photographic line is the enterprise displayed by two young ladies of Wanganui. Miss Davis, whose woik as a mounter and finisher is well known, and Miss Collis, an artist of considerable talent and repute, have taken the up-stairs portion of the Ridgway buildings, and will open Ridgway Studio next week. The Studio is being fitted up in keeping with the most modern ideas, while the ladies' dressing, room, office, laboratory, and appliances are all up-to-date. We congratulate these young ladies on their enterprise, and 
anticipate good business for them.— Wanganui Chronicle.

Wanganui Herald, Volume XXXIII, Issue 9912, 12 December 1899, Page 3

Misses Collis and Davis, the enterprising young ladies who have opened a photographic studio in Ridgway Street, four doors from the Post Office, announce that they are now prepared to fulfil all orders entrusted to their care, including re-touching and enlarging.

Miss Collis is an artist of no mean ability, whose lightning sketches and other work is not unknown in Wanganui, and in addition she has had considerable experience in photographic studios in Auckland and New Plymouth.

Miss Davis was connected with Mr A. Martin's studio for many years, and also with Messrs Wrigglesworth and Binns of Wellington, so that both ladies are well qualified to conduct a business that we sincerely trust will be highly successful. such enterprise, especially when undertaken by the fair sex, deserves hearty support.

Wanganui Herald, Volume XXXIII, Issue 9912, 12 December 1899, Page 3

Misses Collis and Davis, the enterprising young ladies who have decided to enter into the photographic business on their own account, announce that their Ridgway Studio is now open. The studio, which is situated four doors from the Post Office, is replete with all the necessary conveniences, and is, we need hardly add, most artistically arranged. Misses Collis and Davis are deserving of encouragement for their enterprise, and it is pleasing to note that yesterday, when their studio was first opened to the pubic, they had quite a number of sittings.

Wanganui Chronicle, Volume XLIII, Issue 15000, 14 December 1899, Page 2 

The photographic art practised in Wanganui is generally criticised by those in a position to pass opinion as being equal to anything of the kind in the colony.

Within the past four weeks the Ridgway Studio has been established and fitted in an up-to-date manner by the Misses Collis and Davis, and during that time they have been kept busily employed in attending to the requirements of many clients from town and country. The result to-day is a display in the show cases of some really excellent specimens of their skill, including some beautiful enlargements, bearing most favourable comparison in quality with work turned out from more pretentious ateliers, and at prices practically lower than those charged in the larger centres.

The Misses Collis and Davis have a happy idea as to the posing of the subjects brought under the camera, and the finishing and mounting by the aid of the latest bromide process gives an effect which is decidedly satisfactory. The works of art referred to include not only adults, but a number of juveniles, the latter taken in some new and novel positions, artistic and at the same time pleasing to the eye. We heartily compliment the Misses Collis and Davis on the undoubted success which has so quickly attended their business enterprise, and anticipate for them a long continuance of that public and practical support which they so much deserve.

Wanganui Herald, Volume XXXIV, Issue 9937, 13 January 1900, Page 2

 The two large show cases on either side of the entrance to the Ridgway Studio, containing as they do many beautifully-finished photographs, give ample evidence of the large amount of work recently perfected at the establishment, proving also how successful the Misses Collis and Davis have been during the few months since they commenced business. Particular attention is directed to the show case with the artistic display of children's photographs, without doubt a speciality of this up-to-date atelier.

Wanganui Herald, Volume XXXIV, Issue 10017, 21 April 1900, Page 2

Misses Collis and Davis are progressing in Wanganui. An enlarged photograph recently finished by them for presentation was declared by the Wanganui Herald to be the best yet turned out in Wanganui.

Taranaki Herald, Volume XLVIII, Issue 11821, 14 May 1900, Page 2 

 The show cases at the entrance to the studio of Misses Collis and Davis are at the present time filled with splendid photographs, indicative of much skill on the part of the well-known lady photographers. Misses Collis and Davis are prepared to undertake any class of photographic work, and it is superfluous to say that patrons may rest assured that the very best results will be the outcome.

Wanganui Chronicle, Issue 15000, 29 December 1900, Page 2

The Misses Collis and Davis, who have been in business in Wanganui for the last fifteen months having disposed of their interests in the Ridgway studio, request that all accounts owing to them be paid forthwith, and state that they will be in attendance up till Saturday, 16th March, to receive the same.

Mr L. G. Brogan, late of Christchurch, has purchased the interests of Misses Collis and Davis in the Ridgway Street Studio, and will in future carry on the photographic business in those premises, giving prompt attention to all orders that may be entrusted to him. It may be mentioned that Mr Brogan has also bought out the whole of the plant and appliances connected with Mr. Dunlop's studio in the Avenue, and will concentrate the same in carrying on the Ridgway Street Studio, possession of which was taken to-day.

Wanganui Herald, Volume XXXV, Issue 10280, 5 March 1901, Page 2

 


Mr. L. Brogan, who has acquired the joint photographic businesses of Misses Collis and Davis and Mr. Dunlop, comes to Wanganui with a first class reputation as an artistic photographer. He has filled responsible positions with some of the best known city firms, and samples of his work, now on view at the Ridgway street Studio, speak eloquently as to his ability as a finished and painstaking artist.

Among the more prominent pictures, on view in the cases is a charming child study, depicting an infant in the full enjoyment of a morning tub, several nicely arranged and artistically finished family groups, and a striking panel enlargements. One of the best pieces of photographic work we have seen was a beautiful feminine study in negrette, in which, we should imagine, Mr. Brogan has obtained the very results in the application of light and shade effects.

Mr. Brogan is up-to-date in his methods, and we notice that in the manipulation of the camera he has discarded the use of the "cap" the absence of which, he says, enables him to obtain a better control of the sitters, and to secure in all cases a natural expression. Mr. Brogan says he is determined to please patrons, and to that end, should a first sitting not give satisfactory results, he is prepared to give a second sitting without extra charge.
