London Stereoscopic& Photo Field Camera
The London Stereoscopic & Photographic Company Field Camera is a 19th-century British wooden plate camera of the folding tailboard or field-camera type, intended for use with glass plates on a tripod. London Stereoscopic & Photographic was a long-established Victorian-era photographic retailer and outfitter, and field cameras of this kind were sold for landscape and outdoor portrait work before roll film became standard.
Auction data for this model is extremely thin: a single UK saleroom result on record, a hammer price of £180 in October 2017. With only one data point at wholesale auction level (hammer, before buyer's premium), it is not possible to quote a meaningful range or median for what this Field Camera is worth today in 2026, and price is highly condition- and completeness-sensitive — bellows integrity, original lens and plate holders all materially affect value.
