Ilford - 1934 Ad

I've held on to the June 20, 1934 issue of "The Amateur Photographer & Cinematographer" magazine (UK) because the images are so well reproduced. I think I found this at a garage sale a few years ago. The back page has the attached ad from Ilford. The full-page ad is as you see it, in blue.

Also, on page 18, there is a full page congratulations letter (that I did not scan) to the magazine on their "50th Birthday". Wow. 50th anniversary of a photography magazine in 1934. Not bad.

I second that, it's just what I was thinking ... I'd really love to 'have a go' without spending too much and cramming my apartment with stuff.

Imagine, you could give it to friends and they'd discover the magic, too ...

OMG, the Tri-Chem-Pak from Kodak was "THE" thing back then and far into the 60s. I have a few around here somewhere.

My first darkroom experiences were with the Tri-Chem-Pak. "Universal H-Q Developer" -- process your film AND your prints with the same chemical!

Man, that brings back memories...

Do you remember the Universal MQ developer in test tubes with small corks separating the components?

Do you remember Dektol in large jars with screw caps, and a cardboard cylinder inside with the Metol and HQ?

Do you remember Versatol liquid developer for prints and film?

If you do, you are older than dirt!

Here's one from the September 1948 Popular Photography issue. Too any old movies I guess, that hat and camera says Photographer to me.

Wow! This one takes the cake! Bravo Ilford! They should do something along the same line even now, with the their film. I'm sure it will be very attractive. I for one will buy some (more).
