The British Journal Photographic Almanac & Photographer's Daily Companion
Edited by Arthur J. Dalladay
Published by Henry Greenwood & Co Ltd Publishers: London 1954 95th Year Of Publication

"First published in 1860, The British Journal Photographic Almanac and Photographer's Daily Companion became one of Britain's enduring annual reference works for professional and amateur photographers. This 1954 edition, edited by Arthur J. Dalladay, represents the 95th year of publication, appearing at a particularly interesting point in photographic history as established black-and-white processes existed alongside the rapidly expanding use of colour film, miniature cameras, improved optics and increasingly sophisticated photographic equipment.

The Almanac was designed as a comprehensive working companion, combining articles on photographic practice and technique with technical information, processes, formulae, equipment reviews, reference material and illustrations. Its contents provide an excellent contemporary record of how photographers actually worked during the early 1950s, before automatic exposure, electronic cameras and later consumer technologies transformed photography. The technical material is complemented by examples of contemporary photographic work, making the volume useful today as both a historical reference and a record of mid-century photographic aesthetics.

Of additional interest is the extensive period advertising for cameras, lenses, films, chemicals, darkroom equipment and other photographic products, documenting the manufacturers and technology available to photographers in 1954. Published in London by Henry Greenwood & Co. Ltd., this long-established annual offers a fascinating snapshot of the photographic world some seventy years ago and is an appealing collectible for photographers, vintage camera enthusiasts and collectors of photographic history, technology and advertising."
