London Stereoscopic& Photo Artist Hand Camera
The Artist Hand Camera is a wooden-bodied hand camera produced by the London Stereoscopic & Photographic Company, a British photographic dealer and manufacturer active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It belongs to the era of plate-format hand cameras that bridged the gap between studio equipment and the later roll-film snapshot cameras.
Auction data for the Artist Hand Camera is thin, so any guide to what one sells for today should be read with caution. The single recorded UK auction hammer result stands at £780 (2018), which gives a reference point for what a complete example has been worth at saleroom level, though a current market value cannot be reliably established from one data point.
