In the 1900s, cameras are predominantly constructed of wood, metal parts are usually brass -occasionally nickel plated and bellows are often fashionably maroon in colour. Prior to this, cameras in the 19th century were also mostly of wood , quite often lacquered rather than covered in leather, the early bellows types often had square cut corners - see 'bellows cameras'. Unfortunately the LICM currently has no examples. Click on a camera to see more details. Pictures are not to scale.
