Contact Print FrameEntry/Object ID
FIC007Description
Made by Scovill Mfg. Co. in New York, this piece of equipment is known as a contact print frame. It was used for the reproduction of glass or film negatives. Inside the frame, the negative was placed directly against photographic contact paper. The wooden back was then closed and the metal brackets turned to lock the back tightly into place. A cut-out photograph is attached to the front of the frame, most likely to create a vignette effect on the finished photo. It has a dial and the dial on the back reminded the photographer how long an exposure was needed.Acquisition
