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, at Wood and Brass
- Whole- or half-plate field camera, about 1890.[1]
- Phoenix stereo shutter, at Early Photography; 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. Reynolds & Branson patented this in 1883, and Branson patented a further development of the shutter on his own.
