Picture shows : a spare spool is placed in the end of the frame that will engage with the winding key, and a new film is slipped in the other end. The film is now drawn round the frame as illustrated, and the end is attached to the spare spool.
A box camera is a simple type of camera, the most common form being a cardboard or plastic box with a lens in one end and film at the other. They were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The lenses are often single element designs meniscus fixed focus lens, or in better quality box cameras a doublet lens with minimal (if any) possible adjustments to the aperture or shutter speeds. Because of the inability to adjust focus, the small lens aperture and the low sensitivity of the sensitive materials available, these cameras work best in brightly lit day-lit scenes when the subject is within the hyperfocal distance for the lens and of subjects that move little during the exposure. Eventually, box cameras with photographic flash, shutter and aperture adjustment were introduced, allowing indoor photos.

Step-by-Step Guide to the Box Camera - Picture 2 of the 14 Sequence
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vintage print takes us back in time to March 1st, 1933, as we explore the fascinating world of box cameras. In this second picture of a remarkable sequence, we witness the intricate process of using a box camera unfold before our eyes. The image showcases an essential step in capturing memories with this simple yet ingenious device. A spare spool is carefully placed at one end of the frame, ready to engage with the winding key. Simultaneously, a fresh film is delicately slipped into the other end. As illustrated beautifully, the film is then drawn around the frame and securely attached to the spare spool. Box cameras were immensely popular during their heyday in late 19th and early 20th centuries. Often crafted from cardboard or plastic, these humble contraptions boasted a lens on one end and film on another. Their design featured fixed focus lenses such as single element meniscus or doublet lenses for better quality models. Due to limited adjustments available for aperture or shutter speeds and fixed focus capabilities, box cameras thrived best under brightly lit conditions when subjects remained relatively still during exposure. However, technological advancements eventually introduced features like photographic flash and adjustable apertures that allowed indoor photography. As we delve into this extraordinary visual journey captured by Mirrorpix from Memory Lane Prints, let's appreciate how these humble box cameras revolutionized personal photography forevermore.
