In 1891 the Club der Amateur Photographen in Wien ( Vienna Amateur Photographers ' Club ) held the first International Exhibition of Photography in Vienna.

The Club, founded by Carl Sma, Federico Mallmann and Charles Scolik, was founded to foster relationships with photographic groups in other countries.

After Alfred Buschbeck became head of the club in 1893, it simplified its name to Wiener Camera-Klub ( Vienna Camera Club ) and began publishing a lavish magazine called Wiener Photographische Blätter that continued until 1898.

It regularly featured articles from influential foreign photographers such as Alfred Stieglitz and Robert Demachy.
