Maison Dubroni[1] was a camera maker in Paris in the nineteenth century. Despite the Italian-sounding name, the company was owned by Jules Bourdin (Dubroni is an anagram of his name; a note on an auction lot at Westlicht states that his father did not want the family name associated with his photographic inventions).[2]
Cameras
Dubroni is best known for a range of cameras allowing sensitisation, development and fixing of wet collodion plates inside the camera. These are the Appareils Dubroni No. 1 - No. 6 (each seems also to have had its own name; the cited example at Westlicht is a No. 1, identified in the box lid as Photographie de Poche[2]).
Other known cameras:
- Photo-Eclair, about 1886; a concealed camera to be worn under a waiscoat, taking five 4x4 cm photographs on a single circular plate.[3][4] This was designed by J.F Fetter for Dubroni. It is very similar to the Gray/Stirn concealed camera.
- Photo-Sport (strut-folding plate camera with unpleated cloth 'bellows', about 1889)[5]
- Folding field cameras (conventional wooden, bellows-focusing cameras)[6]
