Journal introduction:
Early Popular Visual Culture (EPVC) is a peer-reviewed, academic journal dedicated to stimulating research and interdisciplinary studies in relation to all forms of popular visual culture before 1930. EPVC examines the use and exploitation of popular cultural forms such as (but not limited to) cinema, photography, the magic lantern, panoramas, music hall, illustrated books and periodicals, cartoon strips, circus, stage performances, posters and caricatures in the fields of entertainment, education, science, advertising and the domestic environment, and is primarily concerned with the evolving social, technological and economic contexts which such popular cultural products inhabited and influenced. The journal publishes a range of original historical, theoretical and methodological articles on early popular visual culture, as well as offering selected facsimile materials of obscure and rare sources, reviews and research reports. There are also regular special thematic issues. It is published in English only.
