Pearson and Denham was a retailer of photographic goods in Leeds, UK, until some time in the 1960s.[1] The company premises were in Bond Street, in central Leeds. The company was started in the 19th century; they only made cameras for a short time.[2][3]
Cameras
- The Loidis, about 1890: a double-extension half-plate (4¾×6½ inch) field camera, with rear focusing.[2] Loidis, or sometimes Leodis, is the name of the Romano-Celtic settlement where Leeds now is.
- The Standard: a half-plate (or perhaps 5×7 inch) field camera.[3]
Notes

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 The Loidis field camera, at Wood and Brass states that the company made cameras from about 1889 until 1909.
