American Journal Of Photography

"The American Journal of Photography" was a monthly publication that covered various aspects of photography, such as techniques, equipment, and the art of photography. During its publication, the journal provided a wealth of information and inspiration for amateur and professional photographers alike, and it played an essential role in the development of photography as both an art form and a commercial industry. It featured articles, essays, and reviews written by photographers, scientists, and writers of the time. The journal was known for its detailed coverage of photographic techniques, its high-quality illustrations and photographs, and its contributions to the discussion of the aesthetics and philosophy of photography. The journal also featured advertising from prominent photographic equipment and supply companies, reflecting the growth and commercialization of the photography industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Julius F. Sachse and Thos. H. McCollin were both prominent figures in the photography industry and contributed to "The American Journal of Photography" during their careers.

The Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography is the first comprehensive encyclopedia of world photography up to the beginning of the twentieth century. It sets out to be the standard, definitive reference work on the subject for years to come. Its coverage is global – an important ‘first’ in that authorities from all over the world have contributed their expertise and scholarship towards making this a truly comprehensive publication. The Encyclopedia presents new and ground-breaking research alongside accounts of the major established figures in the nineteenth century arena. Coverage includes all the key people, processes, equipment, movements, styles, debates and groupings which helped photography develop from being ‘a solution in search of a problem’ when first invented, to the essential communication tool, creative medium, and recorder of everyday life which it had become by the dawn of the twentieth century. The sheer breadth of coverage in the 1200 essays makes the Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography an essential reference source for academics, students, researchers and libraries worldwide.

The American Journal of Photography presents a contemporary view of the relatively new medium in 1858.
