A Special Reference Collection BRITISH JOURNAL PHOTOGRAPHIC ALMANAC
The British journal photographic almanac (BJPA) has long been considered one of the best reference sources available for identifying and researching European cameras. Issued first as a calendar in 1861, it continued publication until the 1960's. Nearly half of the total number of pages in each issue were devoted to advertising, usually profusely illustrated, making it a superb reference. Our collection of the bjpa has been gathered over a long period of years; it is probably the most extensive to be offered for public sale in the past fifteen or twenty years. We have listed the year, total number of pages in each volume, and the condition. As indicated, nearly half the total number of pages in each issue were devoted to advertising. Another publication very similar to the bjpa was the yearbook of photography and photographic news almanac; it too offered both articles and extensive advertising related to primarily European cameras of the time. Our collection includes eight scarce volumes of this annual as well.
A total of 81 volumes; offered at $8,000.00, plus shipping
