Picture shows : the frame complete with film is now placed into the camera, and the winding key is pulled out to allow the spool to engage.
A box camera is a simple type of camera, the most common form being a cardboard or plastic box with a lens in one end and film at the other. They were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The lenses are often single element designs meniscus fixed focus lens, or in better quality box cameras a doublet lens with minimal (if any) possible adjustments to the aperture or shutter speeds. Because of the inability to adjust focus, the small lens aperture and the low sensitivity of the sensitive materials available, these cameras work best in brightly lit day-lit scenes when the subject is within the hyperfocal distance for the lens and of subjects that move little during the exposure. Eventually, box cameras with photographic flash, shutter and aperture adjustment were introduced, allowing indoor photos.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with Picture 3 of the 14 Sequence - The Box Camera. This print takes us back to a simpler time, showcasing the art of using a box camera in the early 20th century. In this snapshot from March 1st, 1933, we witness an important step in capturing memories. The frame complete with film is carefully placed inside the camera, while the winding key is pulled out to engage the spool. It's a delicate process that required patience and precision. Box cameras were incredibly popular during this era due to their simplicity and accessibility. Made from cardboard or plastic, these cameras featured a lens on one end and film on the other. They were ideal for brightly lit day-lit scenes when subjects remained still during exposure. The lenses used in box cameras were often single element designs or doublet lenses with limited adjustments available for aperture or shutter speeds. However, as technology advanced, some models introduced features like flash photography and adjustable settings for indoor shots. Transport yourself back in time through this remarkable photograph captured by Mirrorpix on Memory Lane Prints. Let it serve as a reminder of how far photography has come and appreciate the beauty found within these vintage treasures.
