THE PHOTOGRAPHY YEAR BOOK Edited by T. Korda
The number of this annual for 1936- X937 (Cosmopolitan Press, 2ts.) contains over i,000 reproductions of photographs, divided into twenty-three sections according to their subject-matter- only one section is useless, that on " Trick Photography," which does not really show the superiority of the results obtained by design over those produced by technical ineptitude. It represents the work of photographers in many different countries, and provides a comprehensive and useful guide to the aims and achievements of modern photographers, and the uses, whether artistic or commercial, to which photo- graphy can be put. Further evidence of the increasing commercial importance of photography is given by The Camera Eye and the Personal. Touch, an admirably produced and well edited booklet which Messrs. C. Vernortand Sons have recently issued to illustrate the superiority of photography to drawing in lending realism to certain kinds of advertisements.
