E & H.T. Anthony often exhibited a flare for innovative camera designs. In this case, the Novelette was offered in square and round faces. The example shown here is the less commonly found square face version. Compare it with the round version below.

 

Shown is the ½-plate model with Anthony's "telescoping" case.

As with the round face version, the square face Novelette also shares the same rotating back and bellows feature that is found on Anthony's Phantom Camera.
