  • This website appears to be down just now. Anyone know who runs/ran it? I'm a bit stunned that there isn't even a Wikipedia page about Polyfoto considering how many family albums must contain these photo!

    • Not sure who ran the website. If you're interested Photographica World published on Polyfoto many years back. 

    • Thanks Michael. Digging around the full reference is:

      Stokes, Charles (March 1993) Polyfoto: The new portrait photography, Photographica World 64(9-13)

      Perhaps someone who has access would like to summarise the article as a Wikipedia page. You need a citeable source for a page and the scattered bits I'm finding on the web don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.

      I don't have a PCCGB membership. Maybe I'll join in the new year but I belong to too many things and have too many cameras already. Also a lot of the activity seems to be on FaceBook and I'm a FB refusnik!

    • The website is available as archived here: http://web.archive.org/web/20190125032338/http://www.polyfoto.co.uk/

    • Ah thanks. I searched for it there but must have done something dumb! 

    • Curiously there seem to be lots of Swedish polyfotos that are not 48 shots on Europeana.eu.

      I wonder if they had a different system.
