Join Curatorial Co-ordinator Dan as he carefully opens up an Edwardian box to reveal an innovative piece of early photographic processing equipment.
This daylight enlarger was used to turn negatives into photographic prints. Listen in as Dan demonstrates how the equipment would have worked - carefully clipping the metal struts in place, twisting delicate knobs and unfolding the leather bellows to create an important light-tight seal.

Babe wake up, new asmr at the museum just dropped
Dan has a great voice for ASMR. Please feature him in future videos! 💜🎙️
For such an old and obsolete object, I am impressed at how neatly and intuitively it is designed. I love that it folds up into itself and seems like I could set it up without my instruction. How neat!
It's not really obsolete, though. So long as it's light-tight, that enlarger would still work well today.
History & ASMR just go hand in hand!!! So interesting and relaxing!
The craftsmanship gone into this apparatus is stunning. Thank you for putting the same amount of love into this video ❤
This would have been such an innovation and so convenient for the time. It would be great to see advertisements for it, as well. All the usual time and space saving conveniences touted for the "modern" photographer.
That was lovely. Great job, Dan!
I adore this ASMR series!
Lovely ASMR. Thank you for sharing.
What an intricately designed object. This not only is relaxing, it's also very interesting.
Thanks for this! Wonderful intentional calm exudes from this video.
Hey I’d pay money for more frequent asmr videos they are the best asmr kn CZcams in a long time
This was so interesting! What a fantastic and well preserved piece of photographic history. Dan has a great voice for ASMR. Thank you for such a great video.
Dan has such a soothing voice! Please feature him more!
I’m here for the ASMR 🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you V & A ❤❤❤❤
as a photo major, i love this!
I’m really curious as to how you get into this line of work. Id love to do this
I love these!! Thanks!! Can you please do more textile restoration? Those are the best
I noticed that there’s no pressure plate for the negative. Was this only used for glass plate negatives?
At 9:40 is that a piece of dust or a small bug on the left side?
It looks quite fragile.
Imagine the things we could create or skills we'd learn if we weren't nose deep scrolling on social media and attached to the convenience of modern electronics.
