A long run, from Vol. 1 through Vol. 15, and Vol. 17 through Vol. 24. With bound volume; PSA JOURNAL, SECTION B, PHOTOGRAPHIC SCIENCE AND TECHNIQUE, 1950 - 1957.

Began publishing as Journal of the Photographic Society of America, Volume 1, No. 1, March, 1935, and changed its name to PSA Journal with Volume 13, No. 1, January, 1947. Initially issued as a quarterly, and subsequently, a monthly. Edited by F. Quellmalz, et al.

The Photographic Society of America was an outgrowth of the Associated Camera Clubs of America; Dr. Max Thorek was the first president of PSA. Geared towards the artistic and amateur, rather than the professional photographer, the articles focus largely on the practical and aesthetic considerations of printing and presentation, and the last throws of Pictorialism. Reviews of salons and exhibitions were an enduring feature.

Additional shipping charges may apply given the weight of this magazine.
