Can anyone tell me the specific camera being used here? The date is around 1843. If the man at the back is holding a darkslide (and not just steadying the camera) then it appears to be a very large format.

I agree, the Getty image makes it clearer. I worked out they are photographing the William Little monument, the right pier of which forms the left edge of the image. I have not been able to find such a view and I'm not surprised. I have spent too many hours trying the get a decent view... and they are shooting into the sun! There is a view by Thomas Keith of 1856 where even he dodged the problem...

That's quite a spectacular monument, it's a pity it's relegated to what looks like a corner spot.
It originally stood on its own against a high wall in 1680 - everything else in the Keith image is later
