More on Alfred Steiglitz's Publication Camera Work

I wrote about Alfred Steiglitz’s self-publication Camera Work (1903 - 1917) in my last blog (May 2022 - https://nonagon-tangerine-csmg.squarespace.com/config/pages). I wanted to let everyone know that there is a group called the Modernist Journals Project (https://modjourn.org/) that has made digital copies of the original issues available on their website for FREE. They are brilliantly done scans of all the Camera Work issues. You can read them online or download them. This is an amazing resource. The photographs in these issues are just stunning. Take a look! (https://modjourn.org/journal/camera-work/)

They also have a lot of other publications from their beginnings, such as National Geographic, and The Atlantic, and some lesser known but fascinating fiction and poetry and essay magazines like The Strand Magazine (London 1910), Windsor Magazine (London 1911), and Egoist (1914 - 1919) to name only a few.

I highly recommend this site.
