Polyfoto (England)

of London

1933 'Polyfoto (a) new and ingenious type of camera. This new apparatus photographs the sitter 48 times on a single plate, each photograph when reproduced measuring 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches. This type of photography has been hailed as an innovation that professionals cannot afford to ignore. The mechanism by which the Polyfoto operated is both ingenious and simple, the exposures being made by the turning of handle at the side of the camera. Stiff posing is now a thing of the past, for the whole of the 48 positions can be taken in less than a minute, and the sitter can move and converse freely while being photographed.'
