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
- ↑ The most recent reference found to the company is this packet for negatives and prints ('P&D for D&P!') in Jane McDevitt's Flickr photostream.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 The notes about the Loidis field camera, at Wood and Brass states that the company made cameras from about 1889 until 1909.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 A picture of the back of the Standard is shown in this forum post on photo.net (the same enquiry was made on Large Format Photography). The camera is said to have a Dallmeyer Rapid Rectilinear lens. One respondent on photo.net suggests the company moved away from making cameras gradually, so some may have been made between 1910 and 1920.
Links
- Photograph of a photographic exhibition of 1891 in the Leeds City Art Gallery, with a display case of goods by Pearson and Denham, presumably sponsors of the exhibition; at Leodis - a photographic archive of Leeds. Another display case, facing this one, showed goods by their competitor Reynolds and Branson.
