Bermpohl& Co. Naturfarbenkamera (Nature Three-Color)
The Bermpohl & Co. Naturfarbenkamera, also known as the Nature Three-Color, is a specialist colour-separation plate camera. It was built to record three colour-separation negatives in a single exposure for early natural-colour photography work.
Auction data for this camera is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom result from May 2020 saw one example fetch a hammer price of £1,592, which is the only reference point available for what a Naturfarbenkamera is worth today. With no comparable sales in the years since, that figure should be read as an isolated wholesale data point rather than a reliable guide to current value or what the model sells for.
