ICA LUFTBILD Kamera

13x18cm, focal-plane cloth shutter, mahogany constructed body, large brass carrying handle folding frame viewfinder, Voigtländer Braunschweig Heliar 1:4,5 f=36cm, lens no.1035862 and cap. Camera in very good overall condition, lacking ground-glass screen. A very rare camera and must be considered unusual for it to be constructed in wood when more durable materials were availiable and the robust requirements needed for aerial cameras may have contributed to it being unsuccessful and therefore making its production life short lived.
