Photographic Answers was "devoted to discussing current industry literature, techniques, and equipment" (historiccamera site).

Each number treats many topics by various contributors and features a photograph reproduced by collotype (often a portrait of an actress or other celebrity); there are also several halftones. . The photographers include Frank Sutcliffe and H.P. Robinson. Several random plates from the Pictorial Supplement of The Camera (1890 and 1891) are also bound in. The Photographic Review of Reviews was less technically oriented. It collected extracts from various journals and discussed exhibitions, photographic outings, aesthetics, etc. A few pages are devoted to explaining how spirit photographs are made. With a number of halftones. Photographic Answers is extremely scarce: WorldCat locates 1 copy (GEH). The Photographic Review of Reviews, which was published for 4 years, is found in a handful of libraries. More details on request.
