Photographic Journals

from the 1850s

The Photographic Journals played an important part in spreading the knowledge of photography amongst the early photographers from the 1850s onwards.

Notices of Photogrpahic Society Meetings, new discoveries, and papers read at Society Meetings were all reported in the journals.  

There were several journals, all competing for business:
