Rare 19th century Bon Ton Ferrotype 4 Tube Carte de Visite Camera
Four lens tubes, presumably french Darlot, on a mahogany camera frame with black bellows, and a 5"x7" glass plate back. Used for creating for multiplying, or creating variations of the same scene on a single photographic plate. Lenses are attached to camera frame, and not on a removable lens board, as is more common. Potentially AOC of Scovill Mfg. Co., though no identifiable markings except a "3" stamped repeatedly on wood, and a "5" on one lens tube. -
5"x7" glass backing is intact, and exhibits a wonderful and sought after chemical stained patina due to the wet collodion early photographic process. Seen here rotated 90 degrees to landscape format. Presence of holding pins points to 1880 (or so) onwards, as opposed to the earlier hinged, side-swinging format. -
