Description
Offered for sale is an antique photographic accessory – it’s a vision finder lens marked “T. T. & H.” so appears to be a quality item by Taylor, Taylor & Hobson and probably dates to around 1900, so something for a collector. I’ve taken a couple of photos through the lens, so you can get an idea of the image produced – it’s a vision finder used by photographers to help frame a still image prior to actually taking the shot – hence the rectangular frame within the lens itself. It was used with old-style wooden plate cameras around the beginning of the 20th century. Nice quality photograhica antique item for a collector.
The item will be well wrapped and shipped by Royal Mail.
