Description
A Kodak darkroom matting easel that can accommodate paper up to 11x14” in size. Darkroom easels [also called darkroom frames] are used during development to enlarge photographs - they hold the paper flat under the adjustable metal frame and keep the paper properly framed. The easel consists of a wooden base with a raised metal frame around the perimeter - along two sides are wider metal pieces with ruler marks along them. Overlapping in the middle of the board are two adjustable metal pieces that lie flat against the wood. On the left-hand short side is a short metal arm with a spring that can be hooked onto the frame to lift it off the board.

Description
Empty cardboard box of Burroughs Wellcome & Co. ‘Tabloid’ (Photographic) ‘Rytol’ Universal Developer that could be used on plates, film, bromide and gaslight papers, and glass lantern slides. Directions on how to use the developer are printed in black throughout the yellow box. Developers were either chemical powders or liquids that would be added to another agent [usually a bath] to create a solution that would then be used to expose the positive photograph after it had been transferred from the original negative. Different concentrations or chemicals used could yield different results, usually in regards to contrast and colour of the finished image, depending on the photographic base.
