This vintage camera was originally owned by Heinrich Karl Hugo Goodwin, a renowned photographer and linguist. Born in Munich, Germany in 1878, Goodwin earned his doctorate in linguistics from the University of Leipzig in 1903. He later became a lecturer at Uppsala University in Sweden between 1905-1909. In 1912, Goodwin moved to Stockholm where he worked as a lexicographer for Nordstedt & Söner. However, his true passion lay in photography and two years later, he opened his own studio called "Kamerabilden" at Strandvägen 7. Goodwin's professional career took off quickly, attracting a wealthy clientele who were willing to pay top dollar for his photographs. His prices may have been steep, but his talent and dedication earned him a loyal following.
