What it is

The Underwood Field Camera is a wooden folding plate field camera, a body type used for large-format sheet-film and plate photography. Field cameras of this kind were typically supplied for studio and outdoor view-camera work.

On any wooden field camera of this type, inspect the bellows for pinholes and light leaks, check that the focusing rack and tilt/swing movements still lock, and confirm the ground glass is intact. Plate holders and lens boards are often missing or mismatched, which materially affects usability and price.

Questions

Is the price a retail or auction figure?

The price quoted is a UK auction hammer result, meaning the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom before buyer's premium, not a dealer retail asking price.
