Photographic camera

Manufacturer	C.P.Stirn
Name	Plastron Stirn
Place	Berlin (Germany)
Date	1886
Register	02166

Second model of photographic camera made by Rudolph Stirn. This device is based on the Gray camera, manufactured by the American company Weston Electric. It allows for six circular photographs of four centimetres in diameter captured on a glass plate of fourteen centimetres in diameter. It's a hard-wearing camera hidden under a vest; the lens in the shape of an ornamental button protrudes through the eyelet of the vest. A long cord, which hangs from the camera, allows the shutter to be actuated discreetly. This cord had to be suitably hidden in the trouser pocket. It is an ideal camera for taking incognito photos.
