The German photographic journal Photographische Rundschau (Photographic Review) was one of the earliest magazines specifically produced for amateurs in the art and science of photography. Because these photographers were in virtually every case pictorialists, the journal was also among the chief vehicles for the international promotion and diffusion of works of the pictorialist school. Beginning in 1904 and lasting until 1911, the journal joined forces with publisher Wilhelm Knapp’s Photographisches Centralblatt, (Photographic Journal) becoming the Photographische Rundschau und Photographisches Centralblatt.
