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.
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 Steno-Jumelle was made.

- ↑ Advertisement from 1914 for the Joux Aléthoscope at Sylvain Halgand's Collection d'Appareils; the advertisement names Etienne Tufféry as the new owner of the company. It gives the company's address as 18 bis Rue Denfert-Rochereau; there are, however, five streets of that name on the outskirts of Paris.
