cover photo of the 1901 Camera Notes issued by the NYC Camera Club
Toronto. Any photo historian worth his salt knows about the great American photographer Alfred Stieglitz. In the late 1800s Stieglitz returned from Europe and settled again in NYC. He combined the two existing camera clubs in NYC and took over as editor of their magazine, Camera Notes to make the issues more relevant and to bring awareness to ‘fine art photography’.
There are many fine articles and fine art photographs in issues of this magazine after Stieglitz took it over. Take a look.
Our resident photo historian, George Dunbar writes, “Some interesting old photo publications here. [links to the same site as in the earlier post – repeated in this post for your convenience].
“This one [issue] has a note regarding Steichen’s early days…and some advertising from 1901.”
If you haven’t researched the original stories and ads, here is a great place to begin. Enjoy!
