- 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.

- Metal Enteco combination filter holder and lens hood lined with soft black fabric in the original orange cardboard box. The lens hood has a short black plastic handle along the rim that, when twisted, lowers and raises a small knob that locks the hood in place on the lens - a secondary level between the rim and the hood allows for filters to be screwed in. Also in the box is a much smaller filter and frame, as well as a Canon view finder zoom lens attachment. The box has a deep orange lid with a yellow and black label on the lid with “5.75” written in pencil in the top right corner - the lid fits completely over the body of the box.

- Description
- One box of a dozen 9x12cm Eastman Commercial Panchromatic Films - unopened. The box has a large paper label on the lid containing the manufacturer and development details throughout, as well as “9.80” written in pencil at the top. The edges and bottom of the box are sealed with brown paper adhesive tape, the right-hand side is stamped with “DEVELOP BEFORE APRIL 1923.”Panchromatic film is a kind of black-and-white emulsion that is sensitive to all visible light wavelengths and creates realistic photographs - it could also be used successfully for colour and black-and-white motion pictures as early as 1913. One downside to panchromatic film was that it had to be developed in complete darkness as it was sensitive to the red lights standard in many darkrooms.

- Description
- Empty cardboard box of Kokak Solio Toning and Fixing Powder cartridges with manufacturer and product details printed throughout the white box in red and black. Toning powders were chemical compounds designed to react with the emulsion layers of positive photographs that altered the tone (or colour) of the image, usually turning a standard black-and-white image into warmer shades of red, brown, and/or purple - sepia is a very common tone. Additionally, toning powders could be combined with a fixing agent that stabilized the emulsion layer to prevent it breaking down or fading, flaking off, or otherwise ruining the image as it set.
