Chronology of cameras Au Bon Marche 

Au Bon MarchéAu Bon Marché is a large department store, which became a luxury store, founded in 1838 and located on the left bank of Paris. It still exists but has been called Le Bon Marché since 1989.
In the field of photography, Au Bon Marché was a distributor, meaning that the department store sold cameras under its own brand that were manufactured by third parties without changing their specifications, but by masking the references to the manufacturer and changing the name of the model, including that of the lens. The cameras sold by Le Bon Marché don't always have a name; they often have to make do with a type (such as a view camera, detective camera) followed by a number or their format.

With the Lucigraphe N° 5, the series takes a step up in quality compared to Lucigraphe N° 1 and N° 4. The lenses are of a higher standard and are sourced from renowned international optical manufacturers (Zeiss, Steinheil, Goerz). The front part can be opened for easy access to the shutter. The model is available in two variants: with or without front lens shift.

"Lucigraphe" is derived from "Lumière" (light) and "Graphos" (writing).
