The skills they brought were honed in the college museum and included mounting specimens (taxidermy), maintaining displays, and organizing materials for laboratory classes. In addition, they both had years of experience as amateur field naturalists and shared an avid interest in photography. This was a rare opportunity for two very talented young men, and by all indications they made a great success of it over the ten- year period they worked at Glen Island. The museum grew year-by-year as Lewis gathered material on trips to distant locales in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pa- cific. They continued to prepare specimens from the local area and develop exhibits to excite the public’s interest in natural history. Mr. Princehorn increasingly used photogra- phy in his work, seeking images of animals in both natural and captive settings.

Big Bertha/Baby Bertha
Big Bertha /Baby Bertha by Daniel W. Fromm Contents 1 Big Bertha As She Was Spoke 1 2 Dreaming of a Baby Bertha 5 3 Baby Bertha conceived 8 4 Baby Bertha’s gestation 8 5 Baby cuts her teeth - solve one problem, find another – and final catastrophe 17 6 Building Baby Bertha around a 2x3 Cambo SC reconsidered 23 7 Mistakes/good decisions 23 8 What was rescued from the wreckage: 24 1 Big Bertha As She Was Spoke American sports photographers used to shoot sporting events, e.g., baseball games, with specially made fixed lens Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras. These were made by fitting a Graflex SLR with a long lens - 20" to 60" - and a suitable focusing mechanism. They shot 4x5 or 5x7, were quite heavy. One such camera made by Graflex is figured in the first edition of Graphic Graflex Photography. Another, used by the Fort Worth, Texas, Star-Telegram, can be seen at http://www.lurvely.com/photo/6176270759/FWST_Big_Bertha_Graflex/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/21211119@N03/6176270759 Long lens SLRs that incorporate a Graflex are often called "Big Berthas" but the name isn’t applied consistently. For example, there’s a 4x5 Bertha in the George Eastman House collection (http://geh.org/fm/mees/htmlsrc/mG736700011_ful.html) identified as a "Little Bertha." "Big Bertha" has also been applied to regular production Graflexes, e.g., a 5x7 Press Graflex (http://www.mcmahanphoto.com/lc380.html ) and a 4x5 Graflex that I can’t identify (http://www.avlispub.com/garage/apollo_1_launch.htm). These cameras lack the usual Bertha attributes of long lens, usually but not always a telephoto, and rapid focusing.

Graflex and Graphic Cameras; 1914
F X AIND I 1914 FOLMER & SCHWING DIVISION EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY ROCHESTER, N. Y. THE CIIIAifrLEX OU who photograph for pleasure or profit, have not fully realized the joys of photography until you have used a Gra.flex. The business-like ~ertainty of operation, the accuracy of construction, and the finished beauty of the instru ment, combine to make the Graflex pre eminently the quality Camera. The purchase of a Graflex brings with it the pride of possession, the satis faction of knowing you have the best, and-what is more important- the ability to do work im possible with cameras of the usual type. Before the intro duction of the Graflex, extremely short exposures were possible only under the most favorable light conditions, and it was impossible to make satisfactory photographs of mov ing objects on dark or cloudy days. Without the elaborate preparation of focusing on the ground glass under the awkward focusing cloth, or accurately measuring the dis tance between the camera and subject, the photographer had no assurance that his picture was accurately focused. Very often the pictures most desired are the ones that cameras of the usual type are unable to secure-snapshots of children playing indoors, pictures of moving objects taken in the soft light of a cloudy day; or, when the light is bright,- sharp, clear pictures of objects moving with the utmost rapidity. It is photography of this kind that has made the Graflex the first choice of photographers who wish a camera with the widest possible range of utility. The Graflex, employing well known optical principles in a new way, completely eliminates uncertainty of focus and makes it possible to obtain fully timed negatives in doors, in the shade, or on cloudy days, with exposures of 3 very short duration, while under favorable light conditions exposures as brief as one one-thousandth, or even one fifteen-hundredth, of a second may be made with full assurance of a fully timed negative.
