Jules Carpentier was a camera-maker in Paris in the 1890s. The firm developed the first jumelle cameras.[1] Carpentier's Photo-Jumelle might be mistaken for a stereo camera; it has two lenses, side by side on the front of a rigid-bodied body, tapered toward the lensboard (in fact the 1892 patent shows two separate conical bodies on the front of a rectangular rear magazine housing, but an example made this way has not been seen). However, one lens only serves the viewfinder. This is viewed through the red window of the plate magazine. The camera was made for 4.5x6 cm or 6.5x9 cm plates in a twelve-plate magazine with a pull-push rod for changing the plate.[2] The camera was sold in Britain by the London Stereoscopic Company.[2] Early Photography states that the cameras, at first fixed-focus and with a single-speed shutter,[1] were improved over time.
