Zooming to a rather higher than predicted result in a collectables auction held on April 1 by Southgate Auction Rooms (20% buyer’s premium) was this camera and slides. The 1891 model diaphragm shutter bellows camera, among the earliest of its type, was made by the well-known and longestablished firm of Bausch and Lomb from Rochester New York. It easily outpaced a modest £100-200 to take a final bid of £2400.
