About

There are several folding plate cameras called Takyr, made in Paris from about the turn of the 20th century. The name is best known as a product of Krauss of Paris, who made several different models from about 1906 until some time in the 30s,[1] but cameras similar to the Krauss Takyr Model I were sold by Joux, also a Paris company, and clearly marked for Joux, at least as early as 1900.[2] Like most Joux cameras, it has a Krauss lens.
