London Stereoscopic Co. | Copy Camera | English | Whole Plate

STUDIO CAMERA. 1895. A brass and mahogany, dovetailed camera which could be used either as a stand-alone whole-plate camera or, with the additional bellows, as a camera for copying and enlarging quarter plate negatives or whole plate size, or as a daylight enlarger for printing the same formats to paper. The single-fold bellows open into a box shape. Apart from the advantage of easier storage whe folded flat, it is hard to understand why a wooden box construction was not used to produce the same functions.
