The Newman & Guardia High Speed Pattern is a British-made plate camera from the early decades of the twentieth century, produced by the London maker Newman & Guardia. It was positioned as a high-end hand camera aimed at advanced amateurs and press users seeking faster shutter operation than typical folding plate cameras of the period.

Public auction data for this model is extremely thin: a single recorded UK saleroom hammer result of £35 from 2001 is the only reference point, so any current value or price guidance for what one sells for today should be treated as indicative rather than firm. With only one data point at auction-hammer level (wholesale, before commission), no meaningful range or median can be quoted, and condition, completeness of the lens and shutter, and presence of original plate holders will dominate what an example is worth in 2026.
