What it is
{"overview":"The Newman & Guardia New Ideal Sibyl is a British folding plate and rollfilm camera, part of the Sibyl family produced by the London maker Newman & Guardia in the early twentieth century. Check the bellows for pinholes, the ground-glass back and any plate or rollfilm holders for completeness, and the leather covering and case for the wear typical of a camera of this age.
