Account Book of the Items Purchased for Harry Patmore's Photographic Studio, 1880-1882
- View Camera, Used in Harry Patmore's Photographic Studio, circa 1882 - Tintype cameras made photographs on thin, black-painted sheets of iron. The images came directly from the camera, so there were no photographic negatives from which multiple copies could be made. However, cameras could be fitted with multiple lenses, allowing several copies of the same tintype image to be produced at one time on a single sheet of iron.

- Headrest, Used in Harry Patmore's Photographic Studio, circa 1882 - In the early days of photography, a person sitting for a photograph needed to remain motionless. Any movement would result in a blurred area and an unusable image. A headrest cradled the head and kept it still. As photographic equipment and processes improved, less exposure time was needed and headrests became obsolete.
