Cycling and cameras

Inspired by the ‘What bike…’ thread, I found this link just now and thought some here would enjoy

Cycling and photography - a common history

It includes an advert for an early cycling camera



Amusing that I carry my camera in a similar way today. As they here, ‘There’s nowt new under t’sun’

Where was the tripod?

Hand or stand camera, so you didn't have to have one. The reflecting viewfinder probably flips for vertical or horizontal. I had a whole plate Premo like that, but can't imagine actually using it handheld; they were usually 5x7 and smaller. Plus, carrying glass plates on a bike. People were hardier then, though I have taken a Cirkut camera on my bike a couple times.
