--This journal does NOT have volume #s, only issue #s.

--These articles have been transcribed directly from the originals in the V&A Art Library; NO copies made, some have been photographed.  When articles were photographed, a reference has been made and beginning words transcribed to insure association of photos w/ bib. refs.

--Ads = only checked in spotty manner; they are listed together then they occur.  More thorough search needed when time permits.

TO DO:  Add bold to names

NOTES: 

   --Italics have been retained from publications, which use them for both titles as well as emphasis.  To more easily locate image titles, I have continued this italicization when titles have been rendered in all capitols or put in quotes, however italics have NOT been used when the general subject of an image is mentioned.

   --Spelling and typos:  Nineteenth-century spellings occasionally differs from currently accepted norms.  In addition, British spellings also differ from American usage.  Common examples are:  “colour” vs. “color”; “centre” vs. “center’”  the use of “s” for “z” as in “recognise” vs. “recognize; and the use of one “l” instead of “ll” as in “fulfilment”.  While great care has been exercised in transcribing the 19^th-century journals exactly as printed, “spell check” automatically corrects many of these differences.  An attempt has been made to recorrect these automatic changes, but no doubt some have slipped through.  As for typographical errors, these have been checked although no doubt some have managed to slip through the editorial process.  For matters of consequence, I will be happy to recheck the original sources if need be for specific references.

   --Image numbers listed in articles can be either an entry number in an exhibition, or the photographer’s own image number as found on labels. 

    --All names have been bolded for easy location.  Numbers frequently refer to the photographer’s image number, but can also refer to a number in a catalog for a show.  Decide whether to bold or not if can tell.

   --It is not always possible in lists of photographers to know when two separate photographers are partners or not, e.g., in a list, “Smith and Jones” sometimes alludes to two separate photographers and sometimes to one photographic company.  Both names will be highlighted and indexed but a partnership may be wrongly assumed.  Any information to the contrary would be appreciated.

   --  Brackets [ ] are used to indicate supplied comments by the transcriber;  parenthesis

(  )  are used in the original sources.  If the original source has used brackets, they have been transcribed as parenthesis to avoid confusion.

--“illus” means that I have the view mentioned and should be scanned and included.

   --Articles by photographers about technical matters – when transcribed, only names and titles have been listed.  If other names are associated with the paper they are listed as well.

  --Meetings of Societies – Names of officers, members attending or referenced, dates and locations of meetings have been given.  If the reports are very short or discuss photographs, then the articles have been copied; if administrative or technical in nature, they have not.

--“[Selection]” = This has been used when not all portions of a feature are copied, such as The Photographic News’ “Talk In The Studio”.  If the word does not appear, then the entire feature was transcribed.

  -- Some journals, e.g., The Art-Journal, cover both photographer and painting/drawing.  As they frequently refer to the production of both the photographer and the painter as “pictures” it is not always possible to tell when photography is indicated.  If there is doubt, it will be included but a note will be added stating that the names listed may in fact not be photographers.

   --Mostly articles totally discussing technical aspects of photography, products, etc. are not transcribed unless they are part of a larger article covering photographs.   When technical descriptions are too lengthy to transcribe that is noted.

   --Cultural sensitivity – these are direct transcriptions of texts written in the 19^th-century and reflect social comments being made at that time.  Allowances must be made when reading some texts, particularly those dealing with other cultures.

            The portrait of our great missionary traveler is gapped and furrowed as if it had been torn by lions’ claws.  The wide, square face, the full, staring eyes, show tremendous determination and a frame well calculated to bear the drought, the fire, and the famine of African travel, to pass over tracts devastated by the locust, to face the spears of the Caffres and the Zulus.  this English face is rugged enough to have suffered or to suffer anything.
