Photographic Horizons was a United States television series where panelists discussed the art and science of photography. The show aired on Wednesdays at 8:30pm on the now-defunct DuMont Television Network.[1]

Episode status[edit]

A single kinescope recording of this series survives at the Paley Center for Media, dating from August 25, 1948, when the show was still on a local DuMont station.[2] This in fact is one of the oldest surviving records of a live television program and runs a total of 55 minutes, and may represent two episodes.[citation needed]
