A box camera is a simple type of camera, the most common form being a cardboard or plastic box with a lens in one end and film at the other. They were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The lenses are often single element designs meniscus fixed focus lens, or in better quality box cameras a doublet lens with minimal (if any) possible adjustments to the aperture or shutter speeds. Because of the inability to adjust focus, the small lens aperture and the low sensitivity of the sensitive materials available, these cameras work best in brightly lit day-lit scenes when the subject is within the hyperfocal distance for the lens and of subjects that move little during the exposure. Eventually, box cameras with photographic flash, shutter and aperture adjustment were introduced, allowing indoor photos.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a moment from the 14-sequence series showcasing the Box Camera and its usage. In Picture 11, we witness the process of drying off prints after capturing precious memories. The Box Camera, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was a simple yet effective device consisting of a cardboard or plastic box with a lens on one end and film on the other. These cameras featured single element designs such as meniscus fixed focus lenses or doublet lenses in higher quality models. However, adjusting aperture or shutter speeds was often limited or non-existent. Due to these constraints, box cameras performed best in well-lit day scenes where subjects were within the hyperfocal distance and remained relatively still during exposure. As technology progressed, advancements like photographic flash capabilities and adjustable shutters and apertures were introduced to cater to indoor photography needs. This particular picture dates back to March 1st, 1933, offering us a glimpse into an era when photography was evolving rapidly. Preserved by Mirrorpix for Memory Lane Prints, this image serves as a reminder of how far photography has come since those humble beginnings. It symbolizes our enduring fascination with freezing moments in time while highlighting the ingenuity behind early camera designs that paved the way for modern innovations we enjoy today.
