Modern Photographybegan life asMinicamin Sep-
tember 1937, a magazine devoted towards the ‘‘min-
iature camera’’ of the day. The first issue hit the
newsstands a few months after the launching ofPop-
ular Photographymagazine, and the two magazines
would stay rivals and competitors for over 50 years.
The initial focus ofMinicamwas on the new 35-mm
and twin-reflex cameras, as opposed to the medium-
and large-format cameras that were the norm of the
day (though the magazine featured articles on all
cameras, regardless of format).Minicamwas pub-
lished by Automobile Digest Publishing Company,
Cincinnati, Ohio, and was printed in ‘‘digest’’ size
(6½9½ inches). Change was inevitable since the
small format of the magazine made it a challenge to
attract advertisers. Twelve years later, in August
1949,Minicamwas purchased by the Photographic
Publishing Company, New York. Not only did the
publication now establish itself as an east coast pub-
lication, but beginning with the September 1949 issue,MODEL, LISETTE
