Thornton-Pickard | Imperial Pocket No.2 | Other | Quarter Plate

FOLDING CAMERA. 1911. An example of Thornton-Pickard's persistence in naming their cameras, this has little or nothing to do with their earlier wood and brass Imperial models. It is wooden bodied, black leatherette covered, with an aluminium drop front. It is No.2 in a series started in 1911, numbered in rising order of price and specification, this one with an Aldis lens and Bausch & Lomb shutter, cross front, screw rising front, and rack and pinion focusing. More than 1000 permutations were available, some to special order only.
