I had the same idea, but the oldest camera I could find is a Ricoh XR500 with a XR Rikennon 50/2. So it's a good thing that I didn't go with it as this would have easily outdo me.
I had an idea someone would do this type of shot, I was thinking about it but had so many different cameras from old to new that I,d only be telling my age. Nice job.
Camera is a Kodak folder, made between 1895 and 1910, I think. Most of these will still work if you do some cleaning etc. Same probably will not be said for the digital cameras 100 years from now. I still actively use the great classic cameras.
