The Philadelphia photographer also exists in microform, from v.1 to 25; 1864 to1888. The Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA [url]) here in Montreal has a copy of it. You might want to try to locate it elsewhere as a microform... Maybe it as an index.

The William Notman & Son Photographic Studio Collection is also held by another Montreal institution, The McCord Museum [url]. A text describing the man and his work [url-PDF] is citing two references from The Philadelphia photographer (Philadelphia Photographer, vol. 3, no. 32, August 1866 and Philadelphia Photographer, vol. 3, no. 29, May 1866). It doesn't says that he is the author though. But, as mentioned in the previous message below, his work and methods seems to have featured regularly in those pages.

"The Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-century Photography" [url] by John Hannavy confirms that and mentions on page 1012 at least one article from Notman in the January 1867 edition, an article about "the cabinet portrait format".

If it's absolutely needed, I can see if I can look at the microform soon (I'm living in Montreal). But I'm sure someone else on the list can confirm and complete this question rapidly [as always] before the weekend !!!

Cheers. Sincerely.

This might help you to narrow down the date:

Notman had been making inroads into the American market since 1869 when he had received the contract to photograph the staff and students of Vassar College. He was a regular contributor to the influential Philadelphia Photographer, edited by Edward Wilson, an admirer of his work, who often featured Notman’s art, innovative methods, and Montreal studio. In 1876 Notman astutely joined Wilson in forming the Centennial Photographic Company to obtain the monopoly on photographs taken at the Philadelphia Centennial International Exhibition that year; the company, which employed Fraser as art superintendent, had a staff of 100 housed in a large building on the grounds. (Dictinary of Canadian Biography Online.)

I also see a reference to The Philadelphia Photographer, Vol. VI, Nos. 61-72 on a page that he, as well as a lot of other artists are on.  This may not be relevant.

If the publication is still in existence you might want to try getting in touch with them.  Also the local public library, the state archives, or a Philadelphia museum may have the info. you need.

Dear Collective Wisdom,

According to one of our graduate students, photographer William Notman wrote
(at least two) articles for the publication "Philadelphia
Photographer". The problem is that she has no idea when he published these,
and she cannot find the
 journal anywhere but the New York public library and
therefore cannot browse through them.

We are grateful for any ideas...

Many thanks,

Margaret
