Quarterly Camera: Stieglitz reprinted the reviews in the July 1902, issue of Camera Notes. It was the last issue of the magazine to be edited by him. His determination to win recognition of pictorial photography had not been shared by all of the members of The Camera Club. They felt that Stieglitz was autocratic in his selection of illustrations; many members were hurt that their photographs were not recognized; some even challenged his honesty in accounting for the expenditure of the Club's funds. Stieglitz felt compelled to resign as editor, and at once founded a new quarterly camera, Camera Work, the editorship and publication of which he personally assumed.
Essays by art critics and members of the 1 Secession were printed, and the activities of the s were noted. Camera Work is thus a meticulous doc tation of the pictorial movement as well as a bea presentation of its accomplishments. So impressiv the quarterly Camera that the British press reviewed each along with recent books. The editor of Photog wrote: ". . . the conduct and success of the jourm personal one, and a personal one only, and until v, find a British Stieglitz, Camera Work must re unique."
As chairman of the publications committee, Stieglitz transformed the Club's journal into a handsome international quarterly camera, Camera Notes, containing superb reproductions of photographs by members and nonmem-bers, articles, and critical reviews of exhibitions.
