Fifty years ago: how we looked and what we wrote way back then
Article Abstract:
Popular Photography celebrates its fiftieth year of publishing with the Jul 1992 issue. Although all work in 1942 was reprinted in black and white, it offered, as it does now, useful information to photographers. It is amusing to note the cost of camera equipment at 1942 prices.
