628. American Daguerreotype Camera outfit

Quarter-plate with chamfered front and back, and with interior sliding-box.Within a few years of the original Daguerreotype cameras, the first uniquely American style evolved with chamfered front and back. Unlike the French 'drawer type' sliding box style, the early American style has an interior sliding box for focusing that moves entirely within the camera. The exterior of the camera retains its simple, elegant form covered in rosewood veneer. Two hinged doors on the top allow access to the focusing box, which has slots for a plate holder and a viewing screen. The viewing screen is present with this camera. There is no maker's name on the camera, which is common on the early American Daguerreotype cameras. The lens is engraved '1100 L.Chapman New York' with radial drive, a correct lens for this camera. Also included is the very rare and interesting original tripod. A cast-iron yoke connects the three legs to an adjustable center post. At the top of the center post is a sloping shelf, hinged at the front, and adjusted with an original wooden screw to tilt the camera. Adjustments right or left are made by pivoting the camera on the shelf, which is slightly wider than the camera for this purpose. American factory-made daguerreotype cameras, such as the chamfered box or the later Lewis bellows box designs, are highly desirable and rarely come to market, especially with their original tripod.
