a strange Victorian camera (?) up for auction in the UK
Toronto. My friend and associate at the PHSC, Les Jones (sports photographer and author) sent me an email the other day, saying, some one was auctioning off , “A VICTORIAN MAHOGANY FLOOR STANDING STUDIO CAMERA WITH A HINGED BULLSEYE LENS 22CM IN DIAMETER“.
Shown at left is just one view of this unusual camera (perhaps it is a projector, or an enlarger). The auction takes place live later this month. Click on the link above for details – who knows, the gadget may fit your collection. …
NB. The title of this post is a riff on a 1960s song called, “You are a Strange one“, Sung here by Marianne Faithful.
