Description

With bag, bellows camera "L'Alpiniste" E. Enjalbert Paris, with aplanatic lens, 9 x 12, circa 1886. As is. N.B. Jean-Marie PRADES: (...) This camera is designed to be used quickly and to take snapshots without the usual hassle of handling. There's no focusing, the print is fixed and the picture is sharp from 10 m. (...) The mountaineer can transform himself into a detective, and for this Mr Enjalbert has designed a wooden box in which the camera is housed, in the shape of a "postal parcel", as this accessory is known. So you can take photographs without being noticed, and surprise the person you're aiming at.
