It is probably its realistic price.
Fortunatly in last months, prices are going down strongly...and surely they will continue to go down.

In addition, this lens has on the sunshade the address of "rue Bourbon le Château 2", an address in which Gaudin operated between 1855 and 1857 approximately.
If it was one of the first Gaudin...
I have other Lerebours lenses and they all have a serial number on the barrell, and the same serial number scratched on the glass edge:
An small Petzval #9783.
An small "paysage achromatique"...
As some members told you, it is quite likely that he used an achromatic landscape lens.
Here two different morphologies for the same design. Both achromatic landscape by Andrew Ross, from early...
It is not the serial number. Normally, these small numbers identify some, or each lens part.
Garrett, thank you so much!
And here the whole "team" of Lerebours and Lerebours & Secretan Petzval lenses without serial number...!

God, what have bad memory!
Reviewing the information, I realized that I have in my collection, 3 more examples of Lerebours & Secretan Petzval lenses without serial number!
Two of them comes from...

No doubt about this lens, is something like a "missing link". Its morphology is closer to the very first Petzvals made by Lerebours but already corresponds to the period of the Lerebours...
I have two early Petzvals made by Lerebours. I think one of them is really early....maybe late 1842. Both signed only "Lerebours" and with no serial number.
Here the early Voitlander Petzval lens fitted on a Lerebours daguerreian camera(c. 1842/1843) and the Lerebours Traite and Catalogue from May 1842(3th edition).
Voigtlander Petzval lens serial...
Steven,here you have some samples of Lerebours Petzval lenses(dit "Systeme Allemand") from circa 1842/1843. In the next replay, I added also pics of an original and really early Voigtlander petzval...

Steven, Lerebours was making lenses with the Petzval design from 1842. He started as retailer of Voigtlander lenses and few months later he starts production of Petzval lenses. Lerebours...
I think Lerebours had much more status and relative importance in 1839/1845.
Do not forget that was in the earliest team with Bianchi, Giroux, Chevalier y Gaudin as Daguerre's camera/lenses...
From an original Voigtlander german catalog of 1863.

I think this diaphragm system is really early, it starts around 1843/early 1844.
It is an improvement introduced shortly after starting to produce Petzval lenses. Lerebours, quickly understood the...
Shape like british and french landscape lenses but this one it's a french made landscape lens.
Botton a ferrotype of mine branded by Richebourg.

Probably the same model than that one sold in auction years ago...same size and same look. But the other one was the #10.000 and was until 1945 at the Voigtlander Museum in Braunschweig....and near...
Congratulations!!
Incredible lens and incredible condition too!
I think it's a Petzval #9. Focal lenght will be around 26 inches.
Many of this kind of lenses were mounted on astronomical...
"Élève" is closer to "disciple" than "student".
And "disciple of Lerebours" is because Lerebours was one of the most renowned makers at that time.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think Andrew Ross is in a different category than other manufacturers like Shepard, Thornthwaite, Cox... Andrew Ross was a really early manufacturer and certainly the first...
I was crossing with other german catalogs and a big Busch lens and I think that the triple apostrophe(''')are old german lines.
One old german "linie" is same than 1/12 inch or 2,116mm.
My lens is...

I'm not sure about what does '''indicates, but I'm 100% sure are not inches. It's the usual way to indicate lens aperture in many german catalogs from the 19th. century. I will try to find...

Yes, my nik is "Anachromatique", from when I was a soft-focus lenses "tifoso".... ;-)
Unfortunately, no filter with this lens.
I will check because I'm pretty sure I have also some nice pictures...
I have one of that lenses in my collection and I think also some bibliography about this lens

I think it could be an alloy known as zamak, like some early Heliars or Busch Nicola Perscheid.....
....sweetness of Heliars.....

Your lens was made for 18x24cm plates.
Variable focal length pair or fix focal length?
Check here:...
Maybe an adaptation work done by a french optician or camera maker.
A similar convertion made on a daguerreian era lens (1842/1844).
