The Tourist was not listed for many years and is uncommon. By shortening the bellows extension (by 2 ½" on the quarter-plate) the depth of the body could be reduced by ⅝" on the quarter-plate model. A thinner focusing back was fitted without side pieces to the hood. The focusing pinion, at least on early models, was in the middle of the baseboard. The Tourist was advertised as being suitable for ladies and travellers.

This example is fitted with a removable focal-plane shutter that is contemporary with the camera and supplied by Houghton, finger recesses match the camera. When originally supplied a Unicum shutter must have been present as the fixing holes for the catch to secure the shutter in the open position while focusing are present. The camera is now fitted with a Dallmeyer lens without shutter, the focusing scale has been moved back to correspond with the focal-plane shutter. The lens dates to 1902 so may have been supplied with the camera, i.e. the camera could have been modified when the customer purchased the camera with a focal-plane shutter.
