American Photography Magazine - Volume XVI 1922
by COLLECTIONAmerican Photography is a 832-page bound annual volume comprising the complete run of the monthly magazine for the year 1922 (Volume XVI, January through December). Edited by Frank Roy Fraprie, M.Sc.Chem., F.R.P.S., and published by the American Photographic Publishing Company, 428 Newbury Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 1922.

The twelve monthly issues cover the full range of photographic practice of the period: darkroom chemistry (developers, alkalis, chromium salts, bromide processes, platinum effects), camera technique (focusing, exposure, filters, lenses), portraiture, landscape and pictorial photography, photo-engraving, stereoscopic photography, motion and aerial photography, retouching, mounting and finishing, exhibition practice, and the photographic business. Contributors include major figures of the era: E.J. Wall F.C.S., F.R.P.S., John Wallace Gillies, August Krug, C.M. Harris, Frank Roy Fraprie, and numerous club and salon photographers from across the United States.
