Four-Lens Carte-de-Visite Camera

France ca. 1860

This is a fine example of a French carte-de-visite camera used by studio photographers from around 1860 to 1885. This carte-de-visite camera has four identical Darlot lenses, which resulted in four identical images on the negative. This allowed photographers to rapidly create multiple copies of the same quality image. Fine construction in old walnut, with traditional dovetail joints. Typical collodion era bellows. There are 2 doors on the sides of the front section. Focusing is by rack and pinion using knobs. The 4 Portrait Petzval type lenses, signed Darlot, are fixed to an internal panel. The shutter comprises 2 sliding wood Tambour curtains that close the opening on the front of the camera. Very hard to find camera that is important in the history of the evolution of photography. The carte-de-visite portrait format was patented by André Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri in 1854. It provided people of modest means the ability to afford portraits of loved ones. Social use of the carte-de-viste camera was mainly confined to people who utilized calling cards in business and/or for social occasions. The carte-de-visite cameras show the fundamental shift in photographic technology that changed the nature of portraiture and popularized photography.

Vintage Victorian photograph, titled The Terry Sisters, was taken in July 1865 by Lewis Carroll (the pen name of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson). It depicts two sisters, Marion “Polly” Terry and Florence “Flo” Terry. The girls were the younger sisters of the celebrated Victorian stage actress Ellen Terry. Like their famous sister, both Marion and Florence were also actresses. The image is a gelatin-based printing-out paper print, originally created from a wet plate negative.

Making a New Drying Box.

Since I left George Eastman Museum in 2020 I’ve been building replacements for all the things I used there that I don’t have anymore. We have a gelatin dry plate / camping workshop coming up and we’ll be coating around 75 plates. So, time to make the same coating box I made years ago. We always found that corrugated cardboard was the best material as it aided the drying process by absorbing some moisture. The one I originally posted below was for 8x10” dry collodion plates. The vintage iron ended rack holds 50 plates.

This artwork is part of my art installation, now on show at the exhibition ‘We are nature’ at Singer Laren.

We Are Nature, inspired by the ideology of Princess Irene van Lippe-Biesterfeld, once again calls our attention to the deep bond between humans and nature. She feels that human beings have placed themselves outside of and above nature, with all the consequences that entails. ‘We have cut ourselves off from nature, even though we are an inextricable part of it. By connecting with nature—and therefore with one another—we can work together to build a shared future that does justice to the well-being of all forms of life.’
