American Press Cameras
American press cameras in action to cover the
youngest American History from building the
skyscrapers in the gilded age. the
bootlegging days in the thirties to the presidential
elections
in the sixties, from the Suffragettes in the twenties to the
Korean war in the fifties.
To deal with rough street work and the hard
circumstances at the theatres of war in Europe and Asia
all these American press cameras were build heavy and
solid. Nowadays they are still
sought by collectors as well as by photographers
who still love to work with these awfully good looking and
reliable cameras.
