The Johannesburg Sunday Express – September 12, 1954

7th Witwatersrand International Salon Of Photography – 1954

They counted, and re-counted. But it was no use. Only 999 pictures were received from 32 countries all over the world, for the 7th Witwatersrand International Salon of Photography, which opens in Johannesburg tomorrow. The one picture to make it a round thousand entries was not there.

All today, the selected prints will be “hung”  and Camera Club members will be busy till late in the evening preparing for the annual event that is now ranked high among world salons.


The Chinese girl you see was submitted by one of the world’s ace photographers, Francis Wu, Hon. P.S.A., F.P.S.A., F.R.P.S., F.I.B.P., F.R.S.A. of Hong Kong.
