Digital Camera Magazine has launched a series of free gifts for every reader to mark the 175th anniversary of photography.
The promotion starts with a 96-page definitive guide called the ‘History of Photography’, which will be given away in three parts with the magazine.
Part one of the series, ‘The Pioneers: (1839-1924)’ explains the story of the key players in the birth of photography and documents their struggles for honour and commercial success.
Parts two and three will cover ‘The 35mm Film Years (1925-1988)’, and ‘The Digital Era’ (1989-2014).
Matthew Pierce, Head of Future’s Photography Group, said: “We couldn’t let this milestone anniversary pass without a fitting celebration.
“The history of photography is a fascinating and important story, and we’re proud to be able to present it to our readers in this unique way for free.
“We hope that they enjoy discovering the people and processes behind the development of photography.”
