Part of a large collection of photographic equipment used by Yousuf Karsh, Canada's internationally honoured portrait photographer. From 1932 to1992 Mr. Karsh operated from his prinicipal studio in Ottawa. He also maintained studios in New York City and London, England. In 1999 Mr. Karsh was named one of the 100 most influential people of the century. His prints and negatives and personal papers are housed at Library and Archives Canada. This is one of two Calument CC-800 8x10 view cameras that Karsh purchased from the Calumet company in 1956. They would remain his principal studio cameras until his retirement in1992. For more information on the reasons and circumstances behind Karsh's purchase of the Calumet CC-800 cameras, see: Bryan Dewalt, "Karsh: Image Maker. Bringing Artifacts to an Art Show," in Analyzing Art and Aesthetics (Washington: Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press, 2013), pp. 81-82.
