Solid camera from around 1920 for glass plates of the format, made entirely of metal with brass components.

Very simple operation, the shutter works.
The finder via a mirror on top is clear and good.
Direct finder on the side, glass missing.
Glass-plate magazine exchange mechanism works perfectly, nothing bent.
Two original accompanying contact print holders.
The hand-held viewfinder is very nicely finished with walnut wood and wood inlay details.
The focus adjustment works well, the matte glass is very good.
Suitable for the 45x107 mm format: glass plates and prints.
Via a small mirror on top of the viewfinder, light intake can be regulated.
The black wooden front of the viewfinder is horizontally split in the middle, probably due to drying of the wood.
Also notable, a newspaper from 1911 on the back shows a full-page advertisement for Jules Richard and his products.
All together a nice assortment of Jules Richard products.
