19th Century Studio Camera
Long before cameras were made from plastic and metal, they were made from finely polished wood, brass and leather - the age of wood cameras lasted from the very beginning of photography in 1839 to the early part of the 20th century. The 19th century studio camera stood on a tripod with three legs.
Before the first photographic techniques were created, there was no way to preserve an image unless manually made, and the first ever cameras were room-sized and could contain multiple people inside.
I believe at the time, thee cameras were very useful and quite something to behold, but when being compared to cameras today, it seems like they were a lot of work and that not only taking the image was difficult, but so was the preparation before hand.
