Box Plate Camera

Donated by David Armstrong

 

The box plate camera was donated by David a local photography enthusiast and collector.  Its history is largely unknown other than it came from a house clearance in Newhaven with other old photography equipment.  It is the type of early plate camera that would have been used to capture the glass plate photograph of Granton Gasworks which is also displayed in The People’s Museum of Memory and Myth.  It takes a little imagination but with Granton and Newhaven being so close and the age a type of camera and photographic plate matching, maybe after over 100 years and some lucky happenstance they are now reunited?
