I just had to look this up - a wooden AND horizontal enlarger?

https://www.camera-house.co.uk/produ...-only-for-hire

After checking out the image, it looks like it would have originally been illuminated by a candle or oil lamp or something similar?

I wonder how long the exposures would have been, what with the slow speed of emulsions as well?

Sorry for going slightly off topic...
