Details

From the series 'Autographic' folding cameras that the Eastman Kodak Co. Built between 1914 and 1927 in many variants (lens and shutter combinations), this '1A Junior' with a single meniscus lens was the simplest, cheapest and best-selling model. The Autographic 1A Junior is a very large folding / bellows camera whose body is made of wood, covered with black painted grained black leather. The fold-down front and the removable film lid are made of metal and also covered with the same type of black grained leather. The single meniscus lens has four apertures, numbered 1-2-3 and 4. (f-stop equivalents 1 = f-11.2 = f-16. 3 = f-22. 4 = f-32). The Autographic 1A has - the name says it all - an autographic function. By opening a flap on the back, a note could be scratched through the paper back of the special autographic film with a metal marker. In addition to a tiltable brilliant viewfinder, the Autographic 1A also has a spacious optical sports viewfinder with framing lines to set up the camera horizontally.
