The Gandolfi Prison Camera is a specialist large-format wooden camera produced by the British maker Gandolfi, a London firm long associated with hand-built mahogany and brass field and studio cameras. As its name suggests, it was configured for institutional identification work rather than general photography.

Documented UK auction hammer results for the Gandolfi Prison Camera are very limited, with the two recorded Christie's sales falling at £119 and £129, giving a median around £120. Because these results are from the early 2000s and no recent comparables are available, today's value at saleroom level is difficult to fix with confidence, and condition, completeness and the presence of original fittings would heavily influence what one sells for now.
