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 the 12th picture in a sequence showcasing the Box Camera, a beloved device from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image depicts an important step in the photographic process - after hardening, the prints are being thoroughly washed once again. Box cameras were simple yet revolutionary tools, typically made of cardboard or plastic with a lens at one end and film at the other. They gained immense popularity during their time due to their ease of use and affordability. These cameras often featured fixed focus lenses, either single element meniscus designs or higher quality doublet lenses with limited adjustments for aperture or shutter speeds. Due to their limitations in focus adjustment and sensitivity to light, box cameras performed best under well-lit conditions when capturing stationary subjects within a specific range known as hyperfocal distance. However, advancements eventually brought about box cameras equipped with flash capabilities as well as adjustable shutters and apertures, enabling indoor photography. The photograph itself was taken on March 1st, 1933 by Mirrorpix (not specified whether it refers to an individual or company). Its inclusion in Memory Lane Prints allows us to revisit this fascinating era of photography and appreciate how far technology has come since then.
