    The device is a type of photo stand used to reshoot other people's photographs for their collection. It uses a mirror at a 45 degree angle so that photos pinned to a baord on a table can be re-photographed using a tripod mounted standard camera. These are the photos you see with all the push pin holes in them.
  • Richard Norton said:
    New York Times on August 25, 1931: "J. Walter Smith Dies; Magazine Editor. Was in Charge of American Edition of The Strand for Many Years. J. Walter Smith, for many years the editor of the American edition of The Strand, an English magazine, died on Friday after a long illness of tuberculosis, complicated with diabetes, at a private sanitarium in Rutland, Mass.
