The cameras were large and clumsy
compared with what we use today.
They were made of brass and wood
and the lens through and upside
down image on to a ground glass
screen at the rear. The
photographer needed to put a black
cloth over his head to be able to see
that image

For most of the 19th century (until


Kodak invented film) the image was
taken on a glass plate which was
coated with the necessary chemicals
to make the image. In the early days
these had to be prepared by the
photographer as they were not made
commercially.
Originally the camera was made to capture a moment in time
quickly and exactly. Paintings often reflected the opinion of
the painter in their art however photos show exactly what was
happening..
