As promised, more photography-related visuals that have been slowly and carefully extracted, processed and given fresh digital life. Images are culled from my growing reserve of mid-century photography magazines—officially, the very dusty section of the AQ-V library. These random editorial and advertising bits are all sourced from 1959 issues of Modern Photography in addition to a 1958 issue of Popular Photography. See and learn more in my related feature last autumn.

Modern Photography – October, 1965:

Highlights from my copy of Modern Photography magazine, Vol. 29, No. 10 from October 1965; plucked from the semi-tall stack of mid-century photography magazines in my arsenal.
