Abstract
VALUABLE additions to the photography collections at the Science Museum, South Kensington, include a complete outfit for the wet-plate process, of date 1854, presented by His Grace the Duke of Devonshire. The outfit comprises a folding wood camera by Ottewill, a sensitizing bath, and a complete set of chemicals and reagents in its original leather carrying case. These objects are all of considerable interest as showing the types of apparatus and accessories necessary for “photography in the field” in the early days of the “photographic art”.
