Paris-Photographe, revue mensuelle illustrée de la photographie et de ses applications aux arts, aux sciences et à l'industrie. Troisième année complète soit 12 numéros

First edition.
Complete third year in 12 issues of this extremely rare scholarly review founded and directed by Paul Nadar. Each copy includes at least two plates outside the text, including a plate of Nadar's photographic prints and a photograph often reproduced in heliogravure. Contributions by P. Nadar, A. and L. Lumière, A. Marey, G. Geffroy, J. Grand-Carteret, J. Demarçay, Davison, S. Ferrand, H. Fourtier, C. Gravier, A. Guerronnan, Ponton d'Amécourt, H. Reeb, L. Vidal, J. Waterhouse... Among the numerous subjects treated, one will find chronophotography, color reproduction, skies in photography, The pilgrimage to Mecca (very beautiful heliogravure plate outside the text of the grand çalat ceremony)... "We believe we are advancing progress by interesting the public even more in this entirely French discovery of Photography..." ["Nous pensons faire oeuvre de progrès en intéressant encore davantage le public à cette découverte toute française de la Photographie..."]. Thus Paul Nadar concluded his introduction as presentation of this precious review, containing a print by the celebrated photographer in each issue. At the origin of the creation of Paris-photographe, P. Nadar explains the absence of a luxury photography review in France, contrary to the magnificent foreign publications.
Some rare and minimal marginal dampstains and small tears of no consequence, otherwise very handsome uncut copies forming a set of remarkable rarity.
