The Northern camera was manufactured by The Lonsdale Brothers in circa 1898. Also referred to as the No. 1 kit for camera components, specially adapted for dealers desiring to manufacture on the premises. The wood work was cut and glued and every process requiring machinery and power has been done by Lonsdale Brothers, so that dealers with spare hours can perform final assembly. It was a very compact and well constructed camera made of Honduras mahogany, brass fittings and equipped with a double extension leather bellows adjusted via rack and pinion movement. The camera kits were sold with one book form slide. It was made in a half plate, whole plate 10 x 8 inch, 12 x 10 inch and 15 x 12 inch.
