Williamson Kinematograph Co Tropical 35mm wooden cine camera that was probably made around 1911
Toronto. Our friends in Great Britain sent along the latest issue of The Photographic Collector’s Club of Great Britain (PCCGB) Tailboard (August 2024). We exchange newsletters with the PCCGB – and the odd article. The camera you see (left). is featured in an article on member Paul Godfrey.
While this is a cine camera, it was originally “acquired by John Barker around 1930 and was used to take three-in-a-strip walkies on the streets of Great Yarmouth and other towns [in Great Britain]”.
In this article Paul explains how he came to join the PCCGB and how he acquired this camera and its provenance.
