Late 19th Century Mahogany and Brass Field Camera with Jules Abigail Brass Petzval Lens

A late 19th century mahogany field camera with lacquered brass fittings, retaining its original brass Jules Abigail Petzval lens, serial number 4200.

The camera features a folding mahogany body with brass hardware and an extending bellows design typical of the period. The rich mahogany has developed a warm patina through age, while the brass components show the character expected from over a century of use.

The fitted Jules Abigail Petzval lens is housed in its original brass barrel. Petzval lenses are well regarded for their sharp central focus and distinctive rendering, making them highly sought after by collectors and early photography enthusiasts.

A decorative and collectible piece of photographic history, this camera would make an excellent display item or a worthy addition to any collection of antique cameras and scientific instruments.
