Each issue was of about 24 pages measuring about 15x23cm (9x6 inches) and a regular feature was a supplement of full-page photographs printed in high quality; it was a little smaller than the pages of its contemporary the [[British Journal of Photography]] and other early photographic journals. As an example the March 1895 issue contained articles on [[Henry Peach Robinson]] (pp. 65-72) and a brief Biography of J. Traill Taylor FRPS, editor of the British Journal of Photography who was to die later that year in November (pp. 57-58). These were articles were accompanied by portraits of the two men and reviews of their books; ''Picture Making by Photography'' by HP Robinson and ''Optics of Photography and Photographic Lenses'' by J Traill Taylor. The picture supplement was devoted to Photo-micrographic work by Scottish microbiologist A.H. Baird.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.edinphoto.org.uk/1_p/1_photographic_journals_-_photogram_1895.htm|title=Photographic Journals - The Photogram, 1895|website=www.edinphoto.org.uk|access-date=2019-07-08}}</ref>
