Early Walcott Image?<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto.<\/strong> Photographic Canadiana<\/em> editor Bob Lansdale prefers to collect old images rather than photographic hardware.<\/p>\n

Last Wednesday our January executive meeting was hosted at his home. Pre meeting we enjoyed seeing a few of the interesting images Bob has collected over the years, especially from his trips to nearby localities not usually associated with photographica.<\/p>\n

Bob writes, “Here is some description of the “pinchbeck case” patented by Wharton that would match the daguerreotype that I was showing last night<\/a>…. and could not get open to show you the inner sardine-can-like unit that enclosed the dag itself.<\/p>\n

“When I did have it open years ago there was the name COX engraved\/scratched in script into the copper backing of the dag image. The case has Queen Victoria’s coat-of-arms impressed into the back of the case.<\/p>\n

“I believe from the size of the image plate that it might have been done in a Walcott camera where a concave mirror was used to secure the image rather than a lens.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
