Photographs taken with a WW1 era camera
Permalink   


Here's some photographs taken over the past few months using a Kodak No 2 folding camera and appropriate film, as used during WW1 and available from 1908-26 (my camera has been dated as the 1917-19 model)

Privates Lambert and Knowles of the Middlesex and York & Lancs Regiments respectively, on the Piave

It would be interesting to see photo's such as these with colour samples taken at the same time, to match light conditions, for comparison. I would also like to see a couple of side views of the Sunbeam if possible along with some basic dimensions for reference.
