265, v 1, Class 10, United Kingdom 1851, London, Great Exhibition Improved portable photographic camera and stand, for obtaining pictures by any known photographic process, on metal plates, paper, glass, &c. The advantages of this camera are, the facility with which it can be packed into a small compass; the adjustments for placing the paper or plates at the proper focus without exposing them to daylight; and the comparatively small weight of the apparatus; thus rendering the practice of photography easy to a traveller. [Extracted from longer entry] Willats, Thomas & Richard
296.01, v 1, Class 10, United Kingdom 1851, London, Great Exhibition Multiplying Camera Obscura to represent on the same surface a number of different pictures, or the same in various aspects, the portraits of several persons, &c.

A sculptor being supplied with seven different aspects of the features of the same person, is enabled, without seeing that person, to make a perfect bust or model.

296.04, v 1, Class 10, United Kingdom 1851, London, Great Exhibition Focimeter.

Claudet, Antoine François Jean (1797-1867)
296.05, v 1, Class 10, United Kingdom 1851, London, Great Exhibition Screens, to modify the action of light on the various parts of the figure in taking portraits, and thus obtain artistic effects. Claudet, Antoine François Jean (1797-1867)
296.06, v 1, Class 10, United Kingdom 1851, London, Great Exhibition Patent photographic camera-obscura. The novelty consists in its being possible to adapt to it with the greatest facility any system of object-glasses, to change them at will according to the power wanted, and also to use plates of any size; each having a separate moveable frame, in which the ground glass and plate fit the same groove. Without the least alteration it will serve for silver plates or paper, and answer either for views or portraits. Claudet, Antoine François Jean (1797-1867)
296.07, v 1, Class 10, United Kingdom 1851, London, Great Exhibition Dark-boxes, for containing the prepared plates, and carrying them to and from the camera-obscura. Claudet, Antoine François Jean (1797-1867)

Claudet, Antoine François Jean (1797-1867)
296.10, v 1, Class 10, United Kingdom 1851, London, Great Exhibition Apparatus for cleaning and finishing a daguerreotype plate, without burning the oil in a vertical position, and that the heat is applied by the uniform temperature of boiling water. Claudet, Antoine François Jean (1797-1867)
296.11, v 1, Class 10, United Kingdom 1851, London, Great Exhibition Bromine of iodine. Iodine and Bromine combined in the proportions found to afford means giving the plate the highest state of sensitiveness. Claudet, Antoine François Jean (1797-1867)
