Very interesting.
Is it just the front cell ?
No aperture mechanism. Makes me wonder if it could be a projection lens.

Oh right it says "portrait".
Still, odd to have no aperture mechanism. Even early Petzval types usually ha Waterhouse stops.

No, that one never had stops, it has to be used like that for soft focus portrait images.

Thank you! I didn't think to look there.
This also seems like quite a narrow angle lens as the 60cm/24in is recommended for only a 10x12in plate.
The usual 60cm lens should cover a larger plate.

I agree to disagree: not "everyone" is after sharpness; there is a small but growing number of photographers that understand the difference

Interesting lens, quite different to most portrait lenses it seems as the manufacturer says it is free of spherical aberration, and most portrait lenses used spherical aberration to create the effect they were seeking. It's incorrect to suggest softness was the goal, it was smoothness they were seeking, the best old portrait lenses were quite sharp but had very smooth rendering and it is that special look you get where the image is both sharp and smooth with glow from the spherical aberration that is the classical portrait 'look'.
Sharp but smooth, and for a bonus point, can anyone guess who this woman is?
