(Floated the advert picture top right, moved 'companies' box down below it. Reworked the text a bit. Added WP link for *Louis* le Prince, and removed doubt; he invented the cinematograph (of course he did: he was from Leeds)) |

Établissements Mackenstein were founded in 1872 by Hermann-Josef Mackenstein (* 1848 in Doveren; † 1924). The factory was located at 15 Rue des Carmes in Paris.
In the beginning, the company produced small mechanical parts for cameras. In 1888 Mackenstein’s factory assembled the very first film camera equipped with a single lens, able to film up to 20 images per second. This film camera resulted from the work of Louise Augustin LePrince, inventor of the cinematograph.
The Mackenstein company seems to have made a wide range of its own cameras, up until 1914:
- Detective cameras
- Jumelles (as in the advertisement illustrated)
- Chambres de voyage
- Magazine cameras
- Studio cameras
- Stereo cameras
- panorama cameras
- box cameras
- pinhole cameras
- press cameras
- 'Book' cameras
