label: Description
content: The lens on this large wooden field camera used for this 1889 self-portrait appears to use Waterhouse stops inserted in the lens mount to control light entering the camera. Since the lens didn’t have a shutter, the lens cap served that purpose and was removed and then replaced after a certain time interval to capture the image on the glass negative.
