EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this advertisement from the 1890s, showcasing the extensive range of photographic and scientific equipment offered by Lancaster & Sons. The centerpiece of this advertisement is the Bellows Cameras, a popular choice among photographers of the Victorian era. These folding cameras, with their wide-angle lenses and rectangular format, allowed for excellent image quality and versatility. But Lancaster & Sons were not just limited to photography. Their catalog also included a selection of scientific instruments, such as Mahogany barometers and thermometers, which would have been prized possessions for any Victorian gentleman or lecturer. The pocket combination aneroid barometers, in particular, were a must-have for travelers, providing accurate weather information on the go. The scientific equipment offered by Lancaster & Sons was not limited to barometers and thermometers. They also provided Compound Microscopes and Achromatic Microscopes, allowing for detailed observations of the natural world. The Rain Gauge and Theremometers were also essential tools for meteorological studies. The advertisement also highlights the Excelsior Lantern, a portable and efficient light source for photographic and scientific studies. The wooden Bellows Camas and Mahogany scientific instruments add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any study or laboratory. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the wide range of equipment available to Victorians for both photographic and scientific pursuits. It would make an excellent Christmas present or gift for anyone with an interest in the history of technology and science.
