In "The Glory of the Open" and essay in the April 1926 issue of Camera Craft, Anne Brigman mentions two of her cameras: "I looked at my 4x5 Korona View camera and the beloved Smith lens-NO! I was tired. I wanted to go and be free. I wanted the rough granite flanks of the mountains and the sweet earth. I wanted the stacatto song of wing around rocks and juniper branches. The little No. lA Ansco, with its 2 l/2 x 4 1/4 film, would do."
