Period

This kit may have been used c. 1950's+. Not used after 1992.

Canada

Part of a large collection of photographic equipment used by Yousuf Karsh, Canada's internationally honoured portrait photographer. From 1932 to 1992, Mr. Karsh operated from his principle studio in Ottawa, photographing heads of state, religious leaders, and those prominent in business, the arts and entertainment. His photographic prints and negatives, and personal papers are in the national archives of Canada.

Function

Unknown

Technical

Small kit assembled by Mr. Karsh, probably for use with lighting or flash equipment. Adapters with ground wires or tabs probably used in European/non-North American locations. Apparently, adapters were used extensively by Karsh: damaged state of.4 suggests the ground was not always employed. (ref. 3 p. 142)
