Chronology of cameras Murer et Duroni
Cet Express Newness est une des nombreuses variantes de la production du fabricant italien Murer et Duroni. On sait qu'elle a été vendue en France, ainsi qu'en atteste le monogramme, assez courant, marqué d'un SL qui veut dire Société des Lunetiers. En l'ouvrant, on découvre sur la tranche du corps, un autre inscription, aussi en français, signalant la qualité du bois utilisé pour la fabrication.
Cette indication, plus le nombre de plaques, le format de celles-ci permettent de déterminer qu'il s'agit d'un modèle H de la série II.

The Series II boasts a higher level of craftsmanship. The cameras in this series are crafted from walnut plywood covered in Morocco leather. The achromatic lens features a distance adjustment system, achieved by inserting lenses in front of the lens using a small lever located in front of the camera. The lens is equipped with an iris diaphragm. Lastly, the back closure is secured by two buttons concealed beneath the leather.
In this series, the viewfinder covers have a mirror on their inner surface, allowing for eye-level framing and focusing.
