- Metal developing tanks dimensions: 13.6x11.6x17.2 or smaller.Torn and crinkled label free-floating inside case reads “DALLON SS TANKS 3 1/4 X 4 1/4 24 CAPACITY.” DALLON most likely refers to David Allan (Dallan) sheet metal workers, specializing in darkroom products, of London England. Case is a hard-sided black leather box with a lid that hinges open and held open with a brown leather strip on the left-hand side - also has silver metal clasps and carry handle on the front of the case. The case’s interior is lined with grey fabric and the main compartment is divided into two equal sections that house the metal developing tanks. Nailed to the bottoms of each compartment are pieces of wood to prevent the tanks from sliding around. The metal tanks have lids that lift off - one has notches that could have been used to latch the lid down, but no latches remain, and the other has holes in the middle of the lid from where a handle used to be, the handle is missing. Inside the tanks are cradles with lifting handles at either end and removable curved brackets to mount the film in. One tank has what appears to be a vent with a cap on one end, the cap appears to be stuck in place. Folded-up newspaper packed into empty spaces of case beside the tanks, removed.

Each box is mostly yellow with black and red manufacturer and product details throughout - there are two paper adhesive stickers holding the box closed, the one that has the expiration date on it on each box is broken.Verichrome was a kind of panchromatic film that yielded high-quality black and white photographs thanks to the fine-grained emulsion. Film Packs were basic forms of storage meant to be used shortly after purchasing as their [mostly] paper packaging did not keep out oxygen well and had a tendency to fog over time, rendering the film unusable in the long term. It was replaced by the more stable Verichrome Pan in the 1950s.

- Two paper folding envelopes for holding film and/or developed prints - one is Kodak and one is from Wallace Heaton Ltd., a developing studio in London England. Both wallets fold open to show two open-sided pouches where either films or prints could be slotted and have advertising for other services/products printed on them. The Kodak wallet is predominantly white and blue, has a small slip of paper that appears to have “13/5/30 [?] Winton” and several numbers written on it in pencil, several numbers written in pencil on the left-hand side inside, and “Scotland / Negatives of Pete’s Scotland” written in black ink by Catharine Whyte on the front cover. The Wallace Heaton wallet is predominantly grey and black with a picture of two women looking at a photo album on the front cover, a slip of paper that appears to be a receipt for the Browns Hotel made out to “Nice Esq” tucking inside, “Scotland / Nice Esq / egative Scotland 1930” written in different hands on the back [everything except “Nice Esq” written by Catharine Whyte].

- Description
- Kodak 3-inch square filter with original box. (a) The original box consists of a top (lid) and a bottom. The top of the yellow coloured box is square and measures 8.2cm x 8.2cm, which is slightly larger than the 3-inch filter allowing the box to safely store the object. On the face of the lid “Kodak” has been written inside of a red coloured box, which is attached to a black coloured box with the word “filter” written inside. Below this “3-INCH SQUARE” has been (machine) printed in black lettering. Along the viewer left and right sides of the box a half circular cutout is present to allow for easier removal of the box’s lid. Much like the face of the box lid, the front side of the box also has the company name “Kodak” written inside of the red coloured box, which is attached to a black coloured box with the word “filter” printed inside. Next to the company and product names “3-INCH SQUARE” is (machine) printed in black lettering. Below this an ink stamp has been applied, possibly by Nick himself, and reads: “N.D.03.” This stamp has been smudged slightly distorting the mark, although it is still legible. This code symbolizes the colour of the filter, which is a deep neutral slightly warm grey colour that has a neutral density to reduce very bright sunlight, which has a fine mark from bonding agent breakdown. The back of the lid has all of the manufacturer information in red which reads: “EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY” “MADE IN ROCHESTER N.Y. U.S.A. T.M. REGISTERED U.S. PAT. OFF.” On the inside of the lid, on the same side as the manufacturer information, “Code No. 4767” “KP 51378” “printed in U.S.A.” has been (machine) printed. When looking at the inside of the lid it becomes apparent that the information on the boxes lid would have been printed as a whole on the glossy-style paper before being adhered to the cardboard lid. (b)The bottom of the filter’s case is made from plain black cardboard that contains no writing. The inside of the box’s bottom does have a cushioned material that would have supported the object and eliminated any concerns of scratching. (c) The Kodak filter would have been used for printing onto UV sensitive papers. The glass filter absorbs light and only transmits the UV radiation to sharpen prints. The filter measures approximately 7.6cm or 3-inches. Around the edges of the clear glass is a black border. At the top of the border the words: “DEN. 0.30” has been painted in gold, which represents the colour code of the filter. Along the bottom of the border the letter “V” has been painted in gold. This information has also been written on the reverse of the object.

- Kodak 3-inch square Wratten filter with original box.(a) The original box consists of a top (lid) and a bottom. The top of the yellow coloured box is square and measures 8.2cm x 8.2cm, which is slightly larger than the 3-inch filter allowing the box to safely store the object. The face of the lid contains the following words: “Kodak” “WRATTEN FILTER” “(IN B GLASS)” which has been (machine) printed. Below this the manufacturer information has been printed and reads: “MADE IN ROCHESTER, N.Y., U.S.A. BY” “EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY” “T.M. REGISTERED U.S. PAT. OFF.” Along the viewer left and rights side of the box a half circular cutout is present to allow for easier removal of the box’s lid. Both the front and back of the box has the company name, “Kodak” “WRATTEN FILTER” (machine) printed. An ink stamp has been hand applied, possibly by Nick Morant himself, to both the front and back of the box`s edges and reads: “85C” “3** Sq.” “Code 4417” “KP 34344B” “Printed in U.S.A.” in black letters. The code 85C represents the colour code, which would have been a light orange and would have helped correct bluish casts that often occur when photographing outdoors. The 85C series filter would have decreased the colour temperature from 5500-3800 degrees Kelvin. When looking at the inside of the lid it becomes apparent that the original material used for the structural security of the box would have been covered in a paper that would have had the information, specified above, printed on glossy-style paper before meticulously being adhered to the lid. Also on the inside of the lid in blue pen “85-C Daylite Filter for Type F Kodachrome on Ektachrome Type F`s.” has been written, possibly by Nicholas Morant. (b) The bottom of the box has the plain white cardboard with a black covering that contains no writing. The inside of the box’s bottom no longer has the original cushioned material that would have supported the object. Several folded and layered pieces of cotton-style tissue have been neatly ordered to prevent scratching to the objects’ surface. (c) The Kodak filter would have been used for printing onto UV sensitive papers. The glass filter absorbs light and only transmits the UV radiation to sharpen prints. The filter measures approximately 7.6 cm or 3 inches. Around the edges of the clear glass is a black border. At the top of the border the words: “FILTER NO. 85C” has been painted in gold. Along the viewer left side of the object there is also three straight lines in gold. Both of these patterns are mirrored on the reverse of the filter.

- Kodak 3-inch square Wratten filter with original box.(a) The original box consists of a top (lid) and a bottom. The top of the yellow coloured box is square and measures 8.2 cm x 8.2 cm, which is slightly larger than the 3-inch filter allowing the box to safely store the object. The face of the lid contains the following words: “Kodak” “WRATTEN FILTER” “(IN B GLASS)” which has been printed. Above the company logo a yellow sticker has been adhered and reads: “SOLE IMPORTER INTO CANADA” “CANADIAN KODAK CO., LIMITED” “TORONTO” in blue letters. Handwritten in blue pen on the viewer right side of “(IN B GLASS)” the filter colour code “#81EF” has been written; on the viewer right side of the same part “31”Sq” has been written. Below this the manufacturer information has been printed and reads: “MADE IN ROCHESTER, N.Y., U.S.A. BY” “EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY” “T.M. REGISTERED U.S. PAT. OFF.” Along the viewer left and rights side of the box a half circular cut-out is present to allow for easier removal of the box’s lid. The front of the box has the company name, “Kodak” “WRATTEN FILTER” printed. Handwritten in blue pen “#81EF” and “31”Sq” have been applied to the box. The code 81EF represents the colour code, which would have been a light balancing yellow and would have enabled minor adjustments in the colour quality of illumination to obtain cooler bluish or warmer yellowish colour rendering. When looking at the inside of the lid it becomes apparent that the original material used for the structural security of the box would have been covered in a paper that would have had the information, specified above, printed on glossy-style paper before meticulously being adhered to the lid. Also on the inside of the lid, in what has been referred previously as the back of the box, the Kodak company has printed “CODE 4417” “KP 34344A.” (b) The bottom of the box has the plain paper material with a black covering that contains no writing. The inside of the box’s bottom have a cushioned material that supports the object eliminating the possibility of scratching. (c) The Kodak filter would have been used for printing onto UV sensitive papers. The glass filter absorbs light and only transmits the UV radiation to sharpen prints. The filter measures approximately 7.6 cm or 3 inches. Around the edges of the clear glass is a black border. At the top of the border the words: “FILTER NO. 81EF” has been painted in gold. Along the viewer left side of the object there is another figure possibly an “I” or “1”also in gold, but is difficult to make out with any degree of certainty. Both of these patterns are mirrored on the reverse of the filter.

- Description
- A black and silver folding Graflex Crown Graphic camera. The exterior of the camera, on either short side features a silver mount for flashes and shutter release button, which is a rectangle button, (left side) and black leather strap handle (right side). On the back of the camera is a section for the cut film, released by two metal latches, as well as a ground glass back hidden under the folding viewfinder [letting the user know exactly how the image will appear on the film] and releases with a small metal clasp. Towards the top of the back is a metal arm with a black plastic circle at the top that can be slid up as a circular peep finder with various focal ranges on it. On the top of the camera is two other view finders mounted, which are positioned on the right side of the camera, on the left side is a red button. In front of the mount is a raised button (covered in the leather finish) near the the smaller viewfinder, this triggers the camera to open revealing the camera lens. When open the lens is mounted on rails that slides forward and back with soft black leather bellows. It is moved forward by twisting a metal arm with a circle on top in the middle of the lens, this also locks the lens into place on the track. There are two different sets of knobs on either of the lens which allow the lens to lift up and tilt, and with a metal arm at the front of the lens to use for these movements. The metal knobs on the front panel move the inner track that the lens is attached to to move forward and backwards. Along this track is a focal range meter (right side).
