Camera Work, 1906
AN ANNOUNCEMENT
CAMERA WORK has been before the public for three years,
twelve numbers having been issued, and during that period
its position as the leading exponent of modern pictorial pho-
tography throughout the world has been established beyond dispute.
The principles originally enunciated have been adhered to.
We have presented to the public the very best in photography,
European as well as American, in a manner which has never before
been attempted by any art-journal. When we say we have pre-
sented the very best we mean that our choice in illustrations has
been guided solely by considerations of art, and the critical world
has endorsed our efforts.
Undoubtedly the chief features of Camera Work have been
the manner of presentation of the pictures and the quality of the
reproductions. In many instances these “reproductions” can in
reality be considered original prints, having been made directly
from the original negatives and printed in the spirit of the original
picture and retaining all its quality.
That the photogravures published in Camera Work are
unusual in this respect is proven by the fact that in the 1904
exhibition of the Société L'Effort, Brussels, one of the leading art
