Sliding Box Stenope Camera
simple, but quite unusual and rare wooden pinhole camera for 167x216 mm (“full-plate” 6.5x8.5 inch) exposures, the central pinhole is mounted in two concentric turned wooden rings, the larger one ebonized, the smaller one of light brown hardwood, attached to a metal chain the lid is made of turned bone, the dovetailed box is nicely crafted and can be used either in landscape or portrait format - this is indicated by small pads made of bone which are attached to two sides of the camera, comes with a focusing screen (later adaption).
