    Another Shorpy image. 1864 and the photog left his other camera lens laying in pic

    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.

    Probably unscrewed the hood and carefully set it on the Harrison Globe in use

    Early eBay product shot. ("Hood included, but not pictured.")

    Look to the right of the lens for the lens hood.

    Perhaps he intended to crop the image, and composed accordingly.

    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....
