The 1st model of "Le
Touriste" arrived to market around 1916,
and presented by the manufacturer J.V. Paris (Jacques
De Vries). Around 1919, De Vries joins Courbet
and both found E.V.C ( Etablissement Jacques De Vries
& Courbet ). As usual, all this informations are not easy
to prove, but for me is the most convincing hypothesis.
With this introduction, we
can say that this camera is a 2nd model , already with the new logo, from 1919.
This small camera measures 90x60x30mm , and we can place it in the pocket camera category. It was equipped
with a rotating diaphragm
with 6 apertures , 2 shutters positions and Achromathique lens .
