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.
Vendue au cinquième du prix d'une "chambre au long cours", cette petite chambre ne propose que des caractéristiques techniques modestes. En particulier, la mise au point se fait par une simple glissière, sans crémaillère.
On peut s'étonner de ce que ce modèle ne soit proposé qu'en acajou verni, dont le luxe ne sied guère au collégien auquel on le destine...
