Chronology of cameras Sanderson
Frederich H. Sanderson was born in Cambridge in 1856. He began developing an interest in photography, particularly architectural photography, around 1880. He found contemporary photographic equipment challenging to use and lacking in the necessary adjustments.
In January 1895, he patented a tilting front standard system that would become a feature on all Sanderson cameras produced after that date. This system involved the use of four supports for the front standard, allowing for a tilting movement to eliminate optical distortions.
He entrusted the production of his cameras to the Holmes Brothers company and the marketing to the Houghton company.
In 1899, he modified his system by adding locks that allowed for both tilting of the front standard and an easy return to the neutral position.
All Sanderson cameras bear a progressive serial number, regardless of the model, which facilitates dating. The serial numbers range from 100 to 27,000 (with some uncertainty). Production continued until 1939, although the majority of it was completed before the outbreak of World War I.
The Sanderson Regular model was introduced in 1902. It's a quarter-plate format camera, measuring 3"1/3 x 4"1/3. Originally equipped with a Bausch & Lomb Unicum shutter, it's commonly found with a newer and more efficient shutter since it was primarily used by professionals.
On this particular specimen, identified by the serial number 131xx dating between 1910 and 1920, the shutter is an unknown model, and the lens is a Dagor Anastigmat Serie III 125mm, with an aperture of 6.8.
The construction refinement extends to the use of a mobile rail system, preventing the lens carriage from disengaging during its return. The rail also features an infinity focus brake for the standard lens. The platform, capable of tilting over 90° to remain unseen when using a wide-angle lens, is equipped with a spirit level.
