Or maybe some mad plans for strange cameras made out of bits of other cameras?Easy there tiger, let's not peak too soon. I'm hoping for a Butlins chalet and maybe a Morris Marina

Verichrome found in a charity shop Brownie Twin 20. It was knackered, and I suspect i made it worse with a final rinse in too warm water after semi-stnad processing in 1:100 Tetnal Paranol-S for an hour, that old stuff is fickle! :/
I posted the results to local groups around where I found it (Penicuik, Midlothian) but had no luck in finding the original subjects.

Did she take a bus trip to a place full of gnomes?!

I believe the Kodak Autograph cameras came with a stylus and there was a flap that could be opened on the back of the camera so you could make notes straight into the backing paper that transferred onto the negative somehow, kind of an early exif data.Sorry your right Brian I used photos from two albums instead of just the one ! The one album is dated between 1916 and 1919 with a few at the end of this one being a little later. I will try and copy a few more when I get some descent natural light.They all seems to be contact prints as far as I can gather as they seem to be roughly the same size as a 120 neg. A couple of the photos seem to have a space at the bottom to write details in but I'm not sure if this was done at the printing stage or whether this was done when the photo was taken ( I seem to remember reading about a type of film you could do this with) Anyone know any more details on this ? I'm pretty sure the one with the two ladies near a harbor is Cloveley North Devon this ties in with fact that some of the photos are marked as the Grange Bideford

You're right Nick, I have a Kodak Autographic in my collection, and it's as you say.I believe the Kodak Autograph cameras came with a stylus and there was a flap that could be opened on the back of the camera so you could make notes straight into the backing paper that transferred onto the negative somehow, kind of an early exif data.
they seem to date from 1968 to the early 70's.
You're right; it was matt finish photographic paper, very popular in the late 70s and early 80s as it was easier to view than the high gloss shiny photo paper that was the alternative. It didn't show finger prints if some clumsy muffin put their thumbs all over the prints, and was thus more fit for purpose for family snapshot prints. Unfortunately, matt finish prints don't scan very well in comparison to glossy prints... but then again, we never saw that coming back in the day when we paid extra for the matt ones!That sort of paper was what many D&P houses used to use back then - possibly a Kodak paper?
