I was looking through my Thomas International Photo Directory of Antique Cameras 1840-1940 for some Clement & Gilmer cameras. And, to my great surprise, it has 2 Darlot cameras listed in 1887. Has anyone ever seen one of these? I've seen a lot of Darlot lenses but never thought of a Darlot camera.
One is a Rapide Changing Box Camera, 8x9cm plates and the other is 9x12 cm plates with a 135mm f8 Darlot RR lens. Each holds and 'rapid fires' 12 plates. Who knew? I'm sure somebody here did...
