British Journal of

Photography

1897

Photographic Societies

Each edition of The British Journal of Photography in 1897 included brief comments on the activities of British Photographic Societies  -  often about 10 societies were listed, sometimes including Edinburgh.

In earlier decades, the BJP often reproduced the whole Paper submitted to EPS Meetings.   Such Papers were not produced in 1897. However the brief comments on the Meetings often gave a little insight into who spoke at the Meetings.  Edinburgh's professional photographers tended to play an important part in these Meetings in 1897.

Topics Discussed

Topics of particular interest to readers of the BJP in 1897 appeared to include:

-  Kites for Aerial Photography.

-  The Hand Camera

 

BJP  -  1897
