Description
Wooden folding plate camera with a large glass plate on one side and a leather handle attached by copper alloy brackets on top. There are copper alloy arms that allow the fabric folds in the wooden frames to extend and retract. There are also three wooden dark plates with copper alloy hinges and clasps; two of the plates have numbers '1' and '2' on either side of the plate in ivory, and the third plate has a '5' and '6' on either side. There is also a wooden camera with a shutter lens made of copper alloy and glass. The camera has a pull cord that takes the picture and moves the fabric rolled in the interior. The side opposite the lens has a rectangle of black velvet surrounding the edges.
