Photographers World Album

When Percy Lund produced the Photographer's World Journal from 1886 through to 1889 he sent it up to five thousand copies to photographers and dealers throughout the world. The journal was 'for the profession only' He encouraged professional photographers to send him self portraits in a cabinet card format with their names and addresses on the back. Percy's intention was to produce the Photographer's World Album. Many responded including some big names in the Photographic business. A list of known respondents is as follows.
