Julia Scully, longtime editor of Modern Photography magazine, died on July 18, according to this recently published New York Times obituary.
The magazine has been defunct since 1989 and is probably largely forgotten today. Readers of the time, however, and that includes me, may remember it as the most magical of the several magazines that catered to serious amateur photographers, introducing us not only to the latest gear but to photographers who were doing something interesting.
Weirdly, the relatively lengthy Wikipedia entry for Modern Photography magazine doesn't even mention her—as of today (August 6, 2023), at least.
Julia Scully was 94.
