Taylor-Hobson Cooke Anastigmats for Fine Photography Catalogue No. 22, Burke & James, Inc. (Chicago, IL), undated c. 1922, ~6x9", 36pp
In the nationalistic fervor, jingoism, that infected politics in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Cooke lenses (a product of Great Britain) was declared, by the armed forces of Great Britain, to be the best lenses in the world. Whether or not that is true, many historic photographs have been taken using Cooke lenses, including, in this catalogue, a photograph from the doomed Shackleton expedition to the South Pole (page 3).
