Designed by Ottomar Anschütz a talented inventor and photographer associated with the introduction of the focal plane shutter. He experimented during the early 1880's by attaching a cloth focal plane shutter to a standard camera so he could apply its 'stop action' to capture moving subjects. By the late 1880's a production model of this camera had been designed which was later manufactured by Goerz who used his name and reputation in the marketing of the camera. Goerz later went on to employ the Anschütz shutter to their Klapp cameras which became the standard syle of camera for most press photographers and was widely used throughout Europe during the early part of the 20th century.
