British Journal of Photography

British Journal of Photography (BJP). British periodical launched in 1854 as the Liverpool Photographic Journal, becoming the Liverpool and Manchester Photographic Journal (1857-8) and the Photographic Journal (1859), before adopting the title British Journal of Photography from 1860. It became a weekly from 1 January 1865, a frequency it continues today. The BJP has held a leading position for most of its history, and its news and articles, under a succession of able editors, have recorded the development of technical and, to a lesser extent, aesthetic trends from wet-plate to digital imaging.
