4 issues, illustrated, great ads, light wear, toning. Overall condition is VG. The four British Journal Photographic Almanac annual volumes from 1955-1958 capture a period of immense growth and democratization in British postwar photography. With recovery from wartime rationing and innovations in color film and camera equipment, photography reached new heights of popularity as a widely enjoyed hobby and creative outlet. The Almanacs chronicle color film’s displacement of black and white media through technical guides and advertising showcasing consumer accessibility to the vivid new medium. Contents also unveil rising engagement from women photographers like Dorothy Wilding as gender barriers slowly lowered in the field. Moreover, the books document a surge in photographic societies where enthusiasts bolstered expertise and forged social bonds around travelogues, model portraiture and more. Uniting it all is recreational photography’s ascent as an achievable diversion for ordinary citizens, as reflected by coverage emphasizing simplicity, affordability and ambition in camera capabilities and film processing. Cumulatively the four Almanacs provide intriguing insight into photography’s ballooning mainstream appeal during the mid 1950s. SEE NEXT LOT FOR OTHER ISSUES. SHIPPING OPTIONS AVAILABLE.
