This photographer's kit is an excellent example of the photography outfit necessary for the traveling itinerant photographer of the later nineteenth century. Able to sensitize and coat glass plate, assemble the camera and lens, and quickly develop the image after exposure, the photographer had all materials available for a photography session, whether it be a portrait, commercial, or war photographer.
