I am interested to know which brownie camera the daughters of the late Tzar Nicholas II used when they took their personal family pictures. (published recently from the Russian national archive) Thank you. (In one of the picture one of the girls was carrying a box camera i Believe)

Brownie Camera used by Tsar Family

I think I found the picture you spoke of. All Brownies that I know have two holes in the upper left corner for view finders. The camera in the picture has only one. It could well be an early Kodak camera but in my opinion probably not a Brownie. For you people more involved with Kodaks ( I am a brownie person) the URL for the picture is http://www.geocities.com/vienna/8919/page2-5.html
