// Listen with headphones for best experience //
Join Curatorial Co-ordinator Dan as he carefully opens up an Edwardian box to reveal an innovative piece of early photographic processing equipment.
This daylight enlarger was used to turn negatives into photographic prints. Listen in as Dan demonstrates how the equipment would have worked - carefully clipping the metal struts in place, twisting delicate knobs and unfolding the leather bellows to create an important light-tight seal.

For such an old and obsolete object, I am impressed at how neatly and intuitively it is designed. I love that it folds up into itself and seems like I could set it up without my instruction. How neat!

It's not really obsolete, though. So long as it's light-tight, that enlarger would still work well today.

This would have been such an innovation and so convenient for the time. It would be great to see advertisements for it, as well. All the usual time and space saving conveniences touted for the "modern" photographer.

At 9:40 is that a piece of dust or a small bug on the left side?

@stevepringle2295 27 күн бұрын

I noticed that there’s no pressure plate for the negative. Was this only used for glass plate negatives?

@juliemcleod9869 27 күн бұрын

It looks quite fragile.

Imagine the things we could create or skills we'd learn if we weren't nose deep scrolling on social media and attached to the convenience of modern electronics.
