E. & H.T. Anthony & Co. (New York City, NY)
Anthony's Brass Bound Canvas Case - c. 1880's - c. 1890's
5x7 Normandie, handle
parallel to short side
5x8 Novelette
5x8 Novelette
14x17 Normandie
Notes:
Most manufacturers produced and supplied camera
carrying cases. Ones constructed of canvas were supplied with more
expensive cameras, rather than the heavier wooden cases. It seems
from the catalog literature that only Anthony produced a more rugged
canvas case having brass edges. Its usefulness would have been
most apparent in the 14x17 version above, where strength would be
necessary.
