A rough prototype, not sanded nor varnished.

A collapsible travel wet plate collodion holder. The holder holds six quarter plate (3.25x4.25") or 4x5 sized glass or steel plates.

Wet plate collodion is a photographic process where a plate is coated with chemicals to make it light sensitive. It is developed and rinsed and then needs to be placed somewhere to dry. That's where this holder comes in.
