EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Camera, Aerial, Hare, Patent Field" from ca. 1882. Created by G. Hare Ltd. , this wooden box camera is a true marvel of its time. Equipped with three glass negative trays and three lenses, it offered photographers unparalleled versatility in capturing their subjects. Encased in a leather case lined with green felt, this camera was not only functional but also exuded elegance and sophistication. Its compact size of 2 1/2x8x8 1/4 when closed made it highly portable for on-the-go photography enthusiasts. George Hare's ingenuity did not stop there; he continuously improved upon his creation over the years to adapt it to roll film technology. This modification allowed for even greater convenience and efficiency in capturing images. Interestingly, American Wesley D. Archer utilized this very camera during his service in the Royal Air Force (RAF) throughout World War I. As an invaluable tool for documenting wartime events, this camera played a significant role in preserving historical moments. Displayed at the National Air and Space Museum (NASM), this photograph serves as a reminder of how technological advancements have shaped our world over time. It symbolizes the intersection between artistry and scientific innovation that continues to drive progress today. With its rich heritage and cultural significance, this image encapsulates both the spirit of exploration during World War I and George Hare's pioneering contributions to photography technology.
