Facts & Figures:

Again, "Facts and Figures" has no significance unless a specific area of photography or photographic history is broken out for examination and study.  In the realm of "commercial" photography, try the following resources:

PMA Consumer Photographic Survey. CCP HD9708.A1 P4 1997
Published annually by the Photo Marketing Association International, this title surveys market patterns for everything from camcorder ownership and household picture-taking behavior to photo processing statistics.

Photographer's Market - 2,000 Places to Sell Your Photographs.  CCP Reference TR12.P515 2002
This is to photographic artists what Literary Market Place is to writers.  It includes lists of art/photo representatives, stock photo agencies, galleries, publications, and tips on copyright, pricing, and so on.

The Photographic Art Market: Auction Prices.  CCP TR6.5.P456 1998
This is an annual compilation of auction house statistics relative to photography.  It is helpful for ascertaining the approximate value of a particular photographer's work or the value of a particular print type, e.g. daguerreotypes.
