... In Amsterdam ...

... Johan van Hulst Bridge, Amsterdam...

125mm f/2.3 Wollaston Meniscus lens
4x5 Intrepid camera, f:11, Ilford FP4, (no exposure time or filter data was recorded

The ground glass was focused just to the right of the bridge pylon.
Spherical aberration, typical of the uncorrected meniscus lens is evident in the right half of the photo.
By emphasizing the central part of a photo, the Wollaston Meniscus is a useful tool for the portrait Photographer

That's great. I can see why these would work so well for portraiture! Thanks for sharing.
