Part of a large collection of photographic equipment used by Yousuf Karsh, Canada's internationally honoured portrait photographer.

His photographic prints and negatives, and personal papers are in the National Archives of Canada. - Function

Unknown - Technical

Originally designed as an enlarger for aerial images, this unit was used to print enlargements up to 30x40 inches from Karsh's original 4x5 and 8x10 negatives. Including the time required for burning and dodging, the largest photographs (ie. the portrait of Georgia O'Keeffe) could take up to 30 minutes to print. Mr. Ignas Gabalis began working as Karsh's printer in the early 1950’s, and retired when the studio closed in 1992. [ref.2] - Area Notes
