Reynolds and Branson was a company in Leeds, UK, founded in 1816.[1][2] The company had premises in central Leeds, at 14 Commercial Street and 13 Briggate.
The company is generally described as a chemist and optician, but also made general medical equipment and photographic items, including cameras and magic lanterns.
Cameras, etc
- Half-plate tailboard camera, about 1890 [3]
- Whole- or half-plate field camera, about 1890.[1]
- 'Phoenix' shutter: a rather crude shutter, with a hinged flap as the opening blind for each lens, that automatically releases a dropping plate as the closing blind (the 'drop' is accelerated by a tensioned rubber band). The Phoenix was made in both normal mono and stereo models[4][5] Reynolds & Branson patented the Phoenix in 1883, and Branson patented a further development of the shutter on his own.
