Descripción

The Hulcher Camera Company was founded in the early 1950s by photographer Charles Hulcher. They made panoramic cameras, press camera and specialized high-speed cameras used in film, the military and in aeronautics. This lot of about 100 photos and ephemera was acquired from Betty Giles, who worked for the Company for over 30 years. An article on her from the Daily Press in Hampton, VA in 1989, says that Betty was a Jack of All Trades and that her duties include that of photographer, secretary, lab technician, executive assistant to firm president Charles Hulcher, model and "dishwasher." This lot includes over 50 photos of Betty modeling with the different types of Hulcher Cameras and dates from around 1950s to the 1980s.
