Twelve issues of this important photographic periodical. With 14 mounted albumen photographs. 24x16 cm (9½6¾"), black quarter calf, gilt spine.

This volume includes photographs by Norman, the Kilburn Brothers, G. W. Wilson, Reutlinger, plus Morton's views of the Great Solar Eclipse of 1869. Most notable are two identical copies of a photograph of Yosemite Valley by 'Helios, Cosmopolitan Art Gallery' [Eadweard Muybridge]. "No one in San Francisco, and a few in America, surpassed Muybridge in the seriousness with which he regarded his work. In November [1867] 'The Philadelphia Photographer' used three of his Yosemite views as a frontispiece. They tried to print all the issues from one plate, but ended up using three." - Hendricks. p. 27.
