Chronology of cameras Barbier et Thierry
Between the wars, 9 x 12 folding cameras were at their peak, with many distributors featuring them in their catalogs, and numerous manufacturers producing them, often anonymously. Below is an excerpt from the 1927 B&T catalog:
"Model E - 9 x 12: Wooden body, matte black interior, covered in Kranicol, extra-hard solid metal drop bed. Friction focusing carriage, leather handle.
Available in two versions:
1. With variable focus by extension, equipped with a graduated scale.
2. With adjustable focus by Archimedean lever, hooking at infinity and metric distances, large clear reversing viewfinder, spring closure, two nuts, ground glass with a cap, shutter (manufactured by Gitzo) enabling short exposures in one time, indefinite exposure in two times, and instantaneous at variable speeds of 1/25, 1/50, 1/100."
The presented model is the one with the Archimedean lever.
E. Barbier and G. Thierry are mentioned together in the photographic industry indicator of January 1929, for photographic cameras and accessories. From 1931, the business name becomes G. Thierry and Co, successors.
Starting from 1932, phonographs are added to the advertisements.
After 1934, nothing more is mentioned.
