In auction—a small, simple and singular camera box built by Pietro Sbisà in Florence in 1860, intended for use with photographic plates in the 9 × 12 cm format. The dimensions of the camera are 13 × 13 × 10 cm, a jewel. On the side plate it reads: SBISÀ PIETRO FIRENZE… OTTICa… FOTOGRAFIA …Piazza Signoria, 4The construction, simple but accurate, is in mahogany wood, with reinforcements and metal fittings, and is equipped with frosted glass for viewing the image always in focus. The lens, clear and clean, free from scratches and mould, is placed behind the shutter of the repeating type, perfectly functioning, which allows, with a single charge, to take eight consecutive photographs with a fast exposure time that I cannot quantify by moving the shutter lever to the left and the B setting by moving the shutter lever to the right.
