The Australasian Photo-Review was an English language magazine, published for photographers by Baker & Rouse and later Kodak (Australasia), and published in Sydney, Australia 1894–1956.[1]
History
The magazine was first published in 1894 as the Australian edition of the British Photographic Review of Reviews, after the photographic supply company Baker & Rouse purchased the Australasian publishing rights.[2] At this early stage of its publication, the magazine was issued as a short ten to fifteen page supplement to the British edition.[3] In 1895 the magazine's name was changed to Australalasian Photographic Review, and in 1903, the title was shortened to Australasian Photo-Review.[4]
The first editor-in-chief of the magazine was Edwin J. Welch F.R.G.S., F.R.C.I., who declared in the first issue that Australian photographic works would be reviewed with 'bluntness, perhaps, but no namby pamby'.[4][2] Walter Burke F.R.P.S. was Editor. In 1922 Walter's son Eric Keast Burke became associate editor and, in 1943 editor, a position he held until the Review ceased publication in 1956[5] with the last issue released in December.[6]
Content
The Review was notable for promoting the work of Australian photographers or 'camerists', as they were referred to in early editions, and for its high-grade reproduction of photographs.[2][7]
At a time when the nation's history of photography was scant and under-appreciated, Keast Burke's series of historical articles included articles on pioneering Australian photographers John William Lindt and Charles Kerry and on his 1953 discovery, in a shed in Chatswood, New South Wales, B. O. Holtermann’s collection of wet-plate negatives; all gold-fields photographs by Charles Bayliss and Beaufoy Merlin to whom he devoted several issues of AP-R, and later published Gold and silver : an album of Hill End and Gulgong photographs from the Holtermann Collection in 1973.[8]
His father Walter had also been historically minded and both Keast's son Quentin, and wife Iris, assisted in research and article writing for the AP-R. Jack Cato consulted extensively with Keast in writing his 1955 history The Story of the Camera in Australia.[9] Having formally retired in 1960, from 1961 to 1969 Burke was the first editor and then art director of Australian Popular Photography (later named Australian Photography)[10]
