Lucien Joux & Compagnie was a camera maker in Paris from the 1890s to the early 1900s.[1]
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.[2] Neither of the 'jumelle' models listed below is stereo by default, though a stereo version of the Steno-Jumelle was made.
