This editor and publishers notice was loosely inserted within the 1908 first issue art folio for Die Kunst in der Photographie. As it turned out, this would be the final year this important German art photography journal would be published after first appearing in 1897. The following is a translation:

THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY

THE TWELFTH YEAR • 1908

PUBLISHED BY WILHELM KNAPP, HALLE A. S.

✻       ✻      ✻      ✻     ✻

THE TWELFTH YEAR OF OUR WORK

THE ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY

WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A DIFFERENT SERIES THAN PREVIOUSLY, IN THAT INSTEAD OF FOUR ISSUES AT 6 MK., EIGHT AT 3 MK. WILL BE PUBLISHED IN ONE YEAR. EACH ISSUE WILL CONTAIN 3 HELIOGRAVURES IN ADDITION TO THE ART SHEETS MOUNTED ON CARDBOARD. THE YEAR WILL THEREFORE CONTAIN 4 MORE HELIOGRAVURES THAN PREVIOUSLY.

IN THIS WAY, THE PUBLISHER IS IN A POSITION TO DEDICATE SPECIAL ISSUES TO THE WORKS OF OUTSTANDING ART PHOTOGRAPHERS, THE WORKS OF THE CLUBS, AND INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS, WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF INDIVIDUAL WORKS AND OVERALL ACHIEVEMENTS.

OTHERWISE, THE PUBLISHER WILL REMAIN TRUE TO ITS AMBITIOUS GOALS

BUT IT CAN ONLY ACHIEVE THEM IF IT IS SUPPORTED BY SUPPORTING, SELFLESS COOPERATION FROM THE MOST OUTSTANDING REPRESENTATIVES OF ART PHOTOGRAPHY AND IF YOUNG PEOPLE AIM TO FOLLOW THE PATHS OF THE MASTERS OF OUR ART.
