Item description from seller

Variously paged and illustrated. Bound volume containing 12 numbers of Photographic Answers and 3 numbers of The Photographic Review of Reviews. Photographic Answers: vol. 1, nos. 1-6, 8-12; vol. 2, no. 15 (October 1889 through July-August 1891). Photographic Review of Reviews: vol. 1, no. 4, and vol. 2, nos. 14 and 15 (April 15, 1892, Feb. 15, 1893, March 15, 1893). Paper-covered boards, cloth spine (chipped, worn). Without the original wrappers. A little shaken. Pencil notes and marks in various hands in some sections. Photographic Answers was "devoted to discussing current industry literature, techniques, and equipment" (historiccamera site). Most numbers include a section on "Photo-Etching and Collotype," edited by W.T. Wilkinson. Each number treats many topics by various contributors and features a photograph reproduced by collotype (often a portrait of an actress or other celebrity); there are also several halftones. . The photographers include Frank Sutcliffe and H.P. Robinson. Several random plates from the Pictorial Supplement of The Camera (1890 and 1891) are also bound in. The Photographic Review of Reviews was less technically oriented. It collected extracts from various journals and discussed exhibitions, photographic outings, aesthetics, etc. A few pages are devoted to explaining how spirit photographs are made. With a number of halftones. Photographic Answers is extremely scarce: WorldCat locates 1 copy (GEH). The Photographic Review of Reviews, which was published for 4 years, is found in a handful of libraries. More details on request. …
