Canada

Originally owned by Major H.J. Woodside, a known Canadian who was active in South Africa and across Canada at the turn of the century. Library and Archives Canada has the Woodside papers, Woodside photographs. The Canadian War Museum has Woodside's flags, buttons, and uniform.

Fonction

Miniature camera that looks like a pocket watch. Used to record still images on photographic film.

Technique

The design is similar to the American Expo Watch camera from the Expo Camera Company - both designed by Swedish engineer Magnus Neill. The Ticka used a special 17.5mm roll film - loaded in cassettes - taking 25 16 x 22mm images. The case is 55mm in diameter and 21mm deep. A later version of the Ticka has a dummy watch face, with the hands indicating the angle of view. A sterling silver version was also made. This camera is representative of a trend in concealed cameras.
