Physical description
Small plate type camera. The original serrated black leather outer surface of the camera is well aged in places. At some time in the past, a light orange coloured material has been stuck over the leather on the sides and rear of the camera.
Included in this accession are 9 small photographic plates. They seem to have a matte black finish, over a bright tinned finish beneath. One is marked Voigtlander, the other seven are marked - A.P Paris.
The lens, painted black, tapers off in width slightly at one end, where it is threaded to screw into the front of the camera. Relatively small in size. The lens is marked - Voigtlander Tele-Dynar 1:6,3 F=25.5cm No 779763.
