About 20 years ago friend of mine found a wet plate camera along with unexposed and exposed glass plates in the attic of a vacant house that he was remodeling. This piqued my lifelong interest in the history of photography and photo processing. Thank you for the information. You’ve made available on your website.

My site is http://www.piercevaubel.com/cam/. Would that I could eventually get the Excelsior model with the compartment in the front. Always wanted to play with one of those.

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman is one of my all-time favorite shows, and Portraits one of my all-time favorite episodes. Thank you so much for showing us the camera they used in that episode. I had no idea it was anything but a prop they'd made. My parents were photographers in the 50s, so I'm familiar with the process to a certain extent. It's interesting to see how it originated with Semmendinger's camera. It's a beautiful piece of work! Thank you!

Paul, I assume that you are aware of a camera currently on ebay. It has no lens or lens board, but it does have a plate holder. Nick (Fleetwood Museum}

I work at Chippokes State Park in Surry Virgina. I was honored to have met your parents who suggested I do a bit of research on August Semmendinger. We, at Chippokes Farm and Foresty Museum, find your information very interesting. Thank you so much for providing us with this great piece of historical background.
