16 March 1932 cover<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

The 1932 Spring and Empire Number featured on its cover a host of golden daffodils, and in colour, no less \u2013 a rarity for covers of the time. In the inter-war years AP published an annual Empire issue with contributions almost entirely from residents of the colonies. Not all of whom enjoyed springtime in the month of March.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Tales<\/a>\t\t\t

Tales of photography in East Africa<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Wallace<\/a>\t\t\t

Wallace Heaton: endorsed by God, no less<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

\u2018For the lonely man of tropical countries there exists, perhaps, no more fascinating hobby than photography,\u2019 wrote one correspondent using the nom de plume \u201cAfrican Amateur\u201d. \u2018The writer of these jottings, when in East Africa, found it a splendid pastime which, incidentally, brought him a fair financial return by taking photographs of natives.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"At<\/a>\t\t\t

At the Harbour, by F.R Ratnagar of India. From the Colonial and Overseas contest<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

While professional photographers live 100 miles away in the big townships, the natives depend for portraits on the amateur; and a native simply loves to see his own face\u2019. Living 120 miles from the nearest shops he stressed the importance of maintaining supplies. \u2018With petrol at three shillings a gallon I couldn\u2019t just run over on my motorcycle to buy a shilling\u2019s worth of developer.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"British-made<\/a>\t\t\t

British-made Ensign Carbines at \u00a3243 and \u00a3400 in today\u2019s money<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

In Choosing the 1932 Camera, the choice was between roll-film cameras (ideally the folding type, rather than the \u2018cheap boxform type\u2019); the pocket plate camera (preferably with some \u2018rise of front\u2019) and the reflex (the most popular choice among \u2018the leaders of photography\u2019).<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Ads<\/a>\t\t\t

Ads for the Leica Model II and Rolleiflex<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Meanwhile an ad entitled Good Advice: the Reverend knows a good thing recounts a fictional encounter with the local vicar, who bought his camera from Wallace Heaton and advised readers to do the same.<\/p>\n\t\t

A round up of lenses and useful sundries<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n
