The Amateur Photographic Field Club Challenge Trophy

The Photographic Field Club was founded in 1865 but it existed under various forms prior to this date, its aims were to bring landscape to a prominent position in photography. It is not clear when it closed or merged with any another Society.(thanks for info Dr Michael Pritchard)
