Before Photoshop, smartphones, and digital cameras, photographers needed some seriously clever equipment.
Check out this vintage Adjutar photo enlarger from Germany, dating back to around 1930. It's essentially a compact darkroom in a box, designed to enlarge photographic images from negatives.
It's amazing to see how photographers worked nearly 100 years ago, and how much mechanical ingenuity went into something we can accomplish digitally in seconds today.
Would you have known what this was without opening the box?
