Chronology of cameras Leonar
The German company Lüttke & Arndt, which later became Arndt & Lowengard and then Leonar Werke, was located in Wandsbek, near Hamburg. It produced photographic plates, films, and papers, and also manufactured cameras between 1900 and 1918.
The brand identification is facilitated by the presence of a plate marked "Leonar" under the U of the lens block. The body of the camera is made of wood covered with a metal base. The lens and shutter assembly are modest.
On this particular model, the lens has no brand. The Periscopic characteristic is in French, suggesting a sale in France.
It is in the 9 x 12 format, making it a C VI. This model is sometimes called Propaganda-Leonar, the name of a series of inexpensive models (source: McKeown).
