The tripod is Gandolfi, but the camera is a 10 x 12" Wratten & Wainwright, circa 1880. When acquired the ground glass back was missing but I was able to construct a new one which works well. The lens pictured is - from memory - a Dallmeyer with focal length about 18" - if you try to take a portrait with it the camera has to extend to about 6ft long and your sitter tends to get pushed out of the window! It only comes out now and then but I do have a very precious pack of Ilford FP4 10 x 12 sheet film in the fridge.
