The 12th Edition of the Wellington
Photographic Handbook, published in 1922 (see frontispiece, above
right). The Preface states: "Never a day passes without our receiving gratifying testimony to the value of our goods, and it will always be our endeavour to maintain the fine reputation which the WELLINGTON Products have gained for themselves all over the world". Paul Godfrey has made available a scan of the 15th edition of "The Wellington Photographic Handbook", which must date to the latter 1920s, as WELLINGTON & WARD, LTD..ELSTREE, HERTS had been assimilated into Ilford, Ltd by 1930. |

The scan alongside came from Ian Grant who tells me his BJPA for 1928 seems probably one of the last with all the indenpendent companies like Illingworth's, Wellington & Ward etc. Also has A.P.M. The advertisement alongside was scanned by Ian from a book on enlarging. "There's no date in the book but it's the 3rd Edition and 7 Editions were printed between 1910 & 1924". The cover is shown below. ![]() |
