R. Lechner & W. Müller was a photographic dealer in Vienna. The proprietors were Rudolph Lechner and Wilhelm Müller. They made some cameras and dealt in photographic goods. They also operated a studio, and published books including photographic works. The business was at 31 Graben in the centre of the city. Their cameras and publications carry the Royal warrant K. u. K. Hof-Manufactur f. Photographie; the firm was an appointed supplier to the Royal family.
Cameras
- Tailboard-style Reisekameras, wooden.[1] The camera allows front rise and cross movements, and rear tilt. It has a 'reversing' back; that is, the back can be detached to orient it vertically or horizontally.
- Field cameras, wooden, folding conventionally, sometimes named as Werner, in several sizes
- Taschenkamera ('pocket camera', though the example seen is for 12x15cm and packs in three substantial leather cases); metal-bodied strut-folder with a focal-plane shutter.
