Other Photographic Journal Pages
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.
