Beck Hill's Cloud Camera

{"overview":"The Beck Hill's Cloud Camera is a specialist plate camera designed for photographing cloud formations, made by the British optical firm R. & J. Beck. As a wholesale saleroom result excluding commission, it gives a guide rather than a settled value, and prices for any future example will hinge heavily on completeness of the original fittings and overall condition.","buying_guide":"Because surviving examples are scarce, inspect the wooden body for shrinkage and cracks, check that the original lens and any meteorological fittings are present and matched, and confirm the plate holders and bellows (if fitted) are intact.
