Chronology of cameras Office General de Photographie (Nadar)
The Office Général de la Photographie was founded by Paul Tournachon, also known as Paul Nadar (1856-1939), the son of Félix Tournachon, known as Nadar (1820-1910).
Paul quickly took charge of his father's workshop (gallery). When he started the equipment sales business, he didn't hesitate to use his father's signature, with his permission. The use of this logo continued even after his father had retired in 1887. Some cameras bear the name Nadar but are manufactured by a third party.
The 1888 or 1889 catalog features a photograph of the French chemist Michel-Eugène Chevreul on the cover, taken by Nadar in 1886 during an interview with the father and son.
Ce premier modèle d'Express Détective se reconnaît à son dispositif de mise au point interne, commandé par une grande aiguille sur le flanc bâbord.
Cet appareil a été spécialement conçu pour utiliser le châssis Eastman-Walker recevant du film papier en bobine de 24 ou 48 vues. Il peut cependant recevoir des châssis doubles pour plaques de verre, et donc un dépoli.

C'est avec cet appareil que Paul Nadar fera en 1890 son périple transcaspien dont il rapportera quelques 1500 photos. Mais il avait aussi dans ses bagages une chambre 30 x 40, pour les grandes occasions...
