Lucien Joux & Compagnie was a camera maker in Paris from the 1890s until at least 1914.[1][2] The company was at some time taken over by Etienne Tufféry, who continued to trade with the Joux brand.
Some of the company's cameras were of the 'jumelle' type: 'jumelle' means 'twin', and by extension can mean binoculars; this might suggest that cameras so named should be stereo. However, the name refers to the shape of the camera, which is a box, tapering at the front, which resembles the shape of a pair of binoculars.[3] Neither of the 'jumelle'-named models listed below is stereo by default, though a stereo version of the Sténo-Jumelle was made.
