At the end of the 19th century the so-called plate cameras or bellows cameras were developed, which worked with a glass plate and had the shape of an extensible box by means of a bellows. They are a type of pieces that have a great value for collecting. They were usually accompanied by a tripod and a cloth that covered the camera when taking the photograph.
