I found some circular photos in a magazine taken by a Chinese photographer named Xu Yong. I can’t find any on the web but I thought it was worth noting.

Today I came across a circular collotype to add to your collection. I found a reproduction in IMAGE magazine (v. 34, n. 1-2) and then found it online here:

I am thrilled to see all that you have posted about circular photographs. I began photography fulltime in 1970 after two previous failed attempts to come to terms with cameras. The first was in the mid 1950s with a very small camera that took circular pictures. I never saw the pictures. The camera had an unfortunate voyage thru a washing machine with my first roll of film. Some of my circular photographs after 1970 are at
