The British Journal Photographic Almanac is the oldest photographic yearbook in the world and was first published as a wall calendar for the year 1860, and given away as a supplement to the 15 December 1859 issue of The British Journal of Photography. In 1861, it became a separate publication and the editorship closely mirrored that of the Journal. Each volume contained a calendar noting photographic events and society meetings, a summary of the years technical developments, formulas, and articles on various processes and aesthetic considerations. There are numerous illustrated advertisements, and often an original mounted photographic illustration from a variety of processes including photogravure, Woodburytype, bromide print, etc. Many of the earlier volumes bear the stamp on the title page of the New York Camera Club Library.
