__________

The model D of the Chambre Folding distributed by Barbier and Thierry is designated as the "Série de grand luxe" (Luxury Series), but the description provides few details about this luxury. It is mentioned that it is made of varnished mahogany, externally covered with fine Morocco leather, and it has at least two SPIRIT levels. The front lens board features a different fixing and sliding system that ensures great rigidity, as depicted in the engraving. This is crucial to maintain parallelism with the plate plane.

It is worth noting that the body is deeper than in other models, likely to accommodate a thicker drop bed.
