Chronology of cameras Comptoir Photographique du Pont de Fer
Charles Conquérant presented himself as a camera manufacturer (SGDG). He was first located at 86 Boulevard de Magenta, then at 14 Boulevard Poissonnière, both in Paris. It is at this second address that one finds the Comptoir Photographique du Pont de Fer. The reason for the name "Pont de Fer" is unclear.
In 1894, Conquérant, then located at Boulevard de Magenta, registered his brand in the shape of the Cross of Lorraine (Lorraine and Alsace have been German since 1871), as well as the brand name "The Conqueror" (Conquérant... Conqueror).

The particular advantage of this camera is that the focusing is done automatically using a graduated scale or on the ground glass, similar to a tripod-mounted camera.
