A 150 year old camera, and still in use

In the marketplace in Jaipur Mr. Chand creates black and white portraits with a 50 pound wooden camera that is now 150 years old.

Also on an historical note, I just came across a copy of the The British Journal of Photography on Google Books from 1867. Much of the content seems to revolve around the chemistry involved with photography, but it is certainly an interesting glimpse in to the world of photography in same period as the antique camera featured in this video.
