Romain Talbot was a wholesale dealer in photographic goods in Berlin, from 1855.[1] Talbot did not make cameras, but sold them under his own Errtee ('RT' for Romain Talbot) brand. McKeown lists a few folding cameras for plates and roll film, including rebranded Balda and Foth cameras.

There is also the Errtee ferrotype button camera for one-inch ferrotype buttons, incorporating a developing tank.[2] This has a 60 mm f/3.5 or f/4.5 Laack Schnellarbeiter lens.[1] Another street or fairground camera with a Talbot-branded lens, this one for postcard format pictures, also developed in the camera, was sold at auction by Rahn.[3]
