Here. Looks like a 'radial drive' which would be correct. He obviously has his wide angle on the camera Glad I'm not the first guy to leave half my stuff laying around in the picture.

Probably a CC Harrison. Looks like a tripod on the far left made from a small tree.
Good catch Jim! Nice period picture of one of our rare American Radials. For petzvals, I recently pretty much only shoot them, and have sold off most of my others from other countries.
Bruce, there are 2 or 3 other American radial drive makers in this time period besides CC Harrison.

Already lost the hood!
Early eBay product shot. ("Hood included, but not pictured.")
Perhaps he intended to crop the image, and composed accordingly.
Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.

Ahh, the story unfolds. He first looked at it with the petzval, and he said 'dammit' dark corners. Maybe if I take the hood off the $!@#$^ thing will cover it. Nope, gonna have to put the globe on.

I think the hood was obviously blown off in the terrible industrial accident that also ripped the aluminum siding off that church building. Oh, the humanity....
