E.I. Horsman Co., New York, NY
Eclipse Outfit No. 1
American Annual of Photography and Photographic Times Almanac for 1888,
ads p.
26
Date Introduced: - ;
Years Manufactured: c. 1888
Construction: fixed
focus?; no swing; non-reversing,
wooden box camera: solid sides and top
Materials:
Sizes Offered: 3¼x4¼
Notes: This camera
appears to be essentially a box camera. It is included amongst the
Horsman view cameras because it is named The Eclipse, as were all
the Horsman cameras. There is a 3¼x4¼"
view camera advertised as the
Eclipse No. 2,
and a 4¼x6½" view
camera of the same design named
Eclipse No. 3.
Since the Eclipse No. 2 has the same plate size as this camera, we can
conclude that this solid-sided camera must be the
Eclipse No. 1.
