Searching for a Mystery Photographer… Sean Hickey of Devon, England requests assistance in finding the name of an unknown photographer. Some 30 years ago he pur- chased at auction a sizeable collection of 500 negatives that must have been exposed in the late 1920s. One of the cut-film boxes has an expirery date of June 1931. Most views are of UK tourist locations and cities of which the qual- ity seems to indicate to Sean that they were done by a professional photographer. One box marked “Montreal” contains 32
negatives (5x7 in.) of Montreal and Ottawa. OF SEAN HICKEY COURTESY IMAGES We show seven examples from that box. St. James Cathedral Basilique Notre Dame St. James the Apostle Mr. Hickey wonders if readers might have seen any of these sample images reproduced in books, mag- azines or as post cards. It is a slim chance but it might identi- fy the photographer this way.Write the editor if you have news.

I queried him what he knew about the maker or the ori- gin of the set-up, but sadly he had no recollection. Perhaps this article will prod a member's memory and come forth with its provenance. All-in-all, its quite a neat item and a great conversation piece. When I first saw it, it looked weird – and still does: one of the cameras sits up-side-down conveniently to access the shutter lever and film advancement knob. I knew imme- diately what it was or trying to be, and I also realized that
somebody had put serious thought into putting it together. LANSDALE BY ROBERT PHOTOGRAPHS After all, it combines two relatively simple Kodak Brownie Target Six-20 cameras that, because of their standard fac- tory-issued design, lent themselves perfectly to adaptation to stereo-photography – with a bit of fiddling. The thing also is a bizarre visual combination: the rigidly-angled cameras along with some bits of workshop scraps, and a piece that seems to be hand-carved to accommodate a viewfinder Views of the camera: sides, back and general view. opening at the front. I did note a couple of neat ideas incorporat- ed into the design: the spring-loaded synchronized- shutter-release mechanism is bril- liantly simple, but accurate and reli- able; and the “U” shaped bit of metal that serves as a lock to the shutter release when flipped up to prevent accidental exposure; the nicely engineered cutouts for camera strap and the top viewfinder win- dow, and the nice- ly formed metal Front assembly shows working dual shutter release. The yoke to hold Brownie cameras in place is removed. shutter release armatures. But there is one curious thing that stumps me: the curled brass tube-like piece on the top – its use is still unfathomable. Perhaps it is a cigar holder, a retainer for an extra roll of film or maybe its a flash holder. If the original builder would contact me, we can all have our curiosity satisfied. ❧

THE PHSC E-MAIL 6 VOL 7-4 SEPT.- OCT.- NOV. 2007 The Memories of Kodak Heights Eastman Kodak and its entities have undergone a swift change by switching its core industry to the digital age.

This aerial photograph by John Narvali of Toronto, looking north, shows the Canadian Kodak property at its height of expansion.

Possibly one of the earliest photographs to show the hills of Mount Dennis where the new Kodak facilities were to be located, is this 1913 panorama view with John G. Palmer, President Canadian Kodak, Frank Lovejoy, (holding a Kodak Panoram camera) General Manager Eastman Kodak, and (likely) E.A.
