Name/TitleCat­a­logue Bel­lieni c. 1908

About this objectHen­ri Bel­lieni was born as Charles Hen­ri Gimel, but took the sur­name of his step­fa­ther, André François Bel­lieni, who had Ital­ian roots.
In 1880, Bel­lieni took over his stepfather’s busi­ness in Nan­cy and focused on the pro­duc­tion of cam­eras. The Jumelles Bel­lieni gained a strong rep­u­ta­tion, and the company’s prod­uct range includ­ed both con­ven­tion­al cam­eras and stereo cameras.
Dur­ing the First World War, the com­pa­ny pro­duced trench periscopes and aer­i­al cam­eras. After the war, Bel­lieni retired, and the busi­ness was con­tin­ued by Paul Rit­ter. The com­pa­ny ulti­mate­ly remained in oper­a­tion until 1990.
