Description: DESCRIPTION – This is the very large Premier box camera manufactured by Rochester Optical Company (ROC) and designed for 4x5 exposures using dry plate holders. Camera includes ground glass and one plate holder. The first variation of 1890 and 1891 has a small knob on the front that you turn to cock the shutter. That design was changed in 1892 to a cocking lever on the top. Available was an optional roll film holder as an accessory – not included with this camera. The camera is an impressive approximate 11 x 7 x 7 inches in size – must have been very conspicuous when using. The camera first appeared in the June 1890 ROC catalog and seems to have disappeared from the catalog by 1898. This camera comes with the original strap handle, dry plate holder, ground glass panel.
