E. Suter was a camera maker based in Basel/Switzerland. Their Reisekamera was of the very common Continental View type. The Swiss-Box and the Detectiv Magazin camera were quite individual constructions. The Cupido was a 9x12cm plate camera, a unique construction with self-erecting bellows. This invention seems to have been shared with Hüttig, even the name Cupido was also given to such 9x12 cameras of the camera maker from Dresden and its successor Ica. Suter's and Hüttig's Cupido were different except their use of the same bellows unfolding mechanism.
