Isn't it being displayed oddly, with the ground glass towards the viewer's position and a dark cloth over the bellows? Or is it just my old age eyesight again? (Hum, sequins ... I wonder if I still have that old Bergheil around here ... )

I was using my 4x5 field on the weekend and a lady wandered over to tell me "they had one like that at home but no one knew how to use it"... but before I could suggest she send it to me she disappeared...

What would be cool is if the museum would set it up to take portrait or group shots once or twice a year as a fund raiser.

Or if they could commission someone to use it to produce some photographs, and shoot a documentary (either stills or a video) showing the process.

Then the resulting photographs and the documentary could accompany the display.
