Thornton-Pickard Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (Altrincham, Cheshire, U.K.)
Roller Blind Shutter with Wooden Body - c. 1890
Notes:
Thornton-Pickard made a relatively large number of mousetrap shutters
that have survived on or with American view cameras. The vast
majority of them are mahogany and brass, like this one. They could
be installed either immediately before the lens or immediately after the
lens. They also made a
focal plane roller blind
shutter.
