19th Century Antique Cameras
|
|
Part of my collection is focused on 19th
century wooden view cameras made in the
United States and they must be 4x5 or
smaller in size. Ideal candidates
for my collection are quarter plate
cameras of the 1880's and 1890's by the
likes of Scovill, Anthony, Blair,
Rochester Optical, Horsman, American
Optical, as well as more uncommon or
unknown makers of the dry plate
period. Below are a few of the
cameras in my collection.

Below is a Rochester Optical Company
Commodore camera in 4x5 size. First
made in 1885, the Commodore is less common
than other cameras from this maker and
there are at least two
versions. The earlier versions
feature a solid rear wood bed, as shown
below, while later models featured the
more common rail frame system. See
here for the
later model Commodore
in 4x5
size.
Below is an 1886 Catalogue entry
for the camera:
