Chinese Magazine - February 1950


Francis Wu is the editor In Chief of the magazine and this is his Editorial Note for the  issue:

I wish to Thank the people who has given their help and guidance for the publication of  the “Chinese Photography”, a tea party was held at the Cecil Hotel. Lady Grantham and Mr. Kwok Chan were among our honorary guests. More than one hundred persons, including well-known photographers, press representatives, advertisers and high government officials, attended the party.

The first issue of “Chinese Photography” has been the result of our efforts, and we have received many complimentary comments and frank criticisms from friends and readers. We are now using these suggestions and comments to our advantage in improving our forthcoming issues.

Many letters have been written to us inquiring information in regard to The Photographic Society of America and foreign photographic publications and photographic materials; these letters prove that “Chinese Photography” also serves as a channel of information from all photographers in the Far East.

In this second issue, we are introducing color photography which is such a popular trend in photographic art. Our increase of articles are designed to give beginners better educational material and helpful information. For further to aid our readers, we would like to have them send questions on which they need hellp and assistance.
