During a recent deep clean of the museum our Senior Collections Officer picked this 1950s #camera as her favourite collection item.

This "adorable" subminiature Mycro IIIA is a remarkably small yet fully functioning camera complete with tiny rolls of film.

Happy #NationalBrownieDay everyone! Everyone is sharing photos of chocolate desserts but we thought we'd share one of the many #BrownieCameras in the @foxtalbotmuseum collection.

This 1950s #camera came to #Lacock in 2017 as part of the Fenton collection: https://t.co/yJdIIEEFQQ

'How charming would it be if it were possible to cause these natural images to imprint themselves durably and remain fixed on paper.' - #WilliamHenryFoxTalbot, 1833

2 years later #FoxTalbot captured this at #LacockAbbey - the oldest existing camera negative
