Between 1864 and 1870, THE PHOTOGRAPHIC WORLD, edited by Edward L. Wilson, was published as supplement to THE PHILADELPHIA PHOTOGRAPHER. It became an independent journal in 1871, and was absorbed in January 1873 with THE PHILADELPHIA PHOTOGRAPHER. The year 1871 is designated as Volume 1.
Appended to each issue is THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TIMES. Edited by Edward Wilson and published by Scovil Manufacturing Company, New York. The paginations vary and the numbering sequence extends that of THE PHOTOGRAPHIC WORLD. The publishing history is rather complicated and obscure for this serial. Walter Koelzer, in Photographic and Cinematographic Periodicals No. 18700 states, "Between 1864 and 1870 published as a supplement of THE PHILADELPHIA PHOTOGRAPHER. Became and independent journal between 1871 - 1872, and merged finally in January 1873 with THE PHILADELPHIA PHOTOGRAPHER. 1871 is called Volume 1"
