The Lancaster Brass Bound Instantograph is a Victorian-era British plate camera, built as a folding mahogany field camera with brass fittings. Lancaster of Birmingham produced the Instantograph line as a mid-market offering for amateur and travelling photographers in the late 19th century.

Sales data for the Brass Bound Instantograph is thin, so the value picture in 2026 remains broad: recorded UK auction hammer results range from £35 to £180, with no clear median given only two data points. A 2023 saleroom example sold for £35, while a Christie's hammer result from 2001 reached £176 — a spread that shows how much condition, completeness (lens, plate holders, case) and provenance affect what one of these sells for today.
