The Day Is Done By Francis Wu

A print, which is likely to attract the attention of photographers, is Francis Wu’s “The Day Is Done” (74) because of the use of a background screen that imparts leather like texture. Wu is the leading photographer in Hong Kong.

The Amateur Photographer – October 4th, 1939

“The Royals” and “The Salons”
The Salons
As with the R.P.S. Annual Exhibition, The London Salon of Photography also announces an extension of time, and this attractive exhibition of pictorial photography at 26/27 Conduit Street, New bond Street, will remain open until October 21st. Here with the appeal entirely of pictorial photography, the visitor will be able to study at leisure, not only the various studies of individual workers, but ale, with the aid of the catalog, to discern variations of characteristics in national tendencies in camera work.

Already we have referred to the productions of many of the exhibitors, but with a collection of over 400 prints, selected from many thousands sent in, it can be assumed that the standards is very high and there is no poor prints in the collection.

The Chinese photographers have a very definite character of their own.

Francis Wu’s print “Portrait Of An Old Woman” was accepted and hung in this International Salon in 1939.
