Vintage Folding Bellows Camera

Era: Circa 1930s–1940s. A vintage folding camera featuring an accordion-style bellows, folding lens bed and Art Deco-era metal detailing. Designed to collapse into a compact case when not in use, folding cameras made photography considerably more portable during the early decades of the 20th century. Its exposed bellows and mechanical construction make it a wonderful example of photography before the modern camera age.
