Enjalbert Touriste
The Enjalbert Touriste is an early French camera produced by the Parisian maker Enjalbert in the late 19th century. It is a wooden detective-style stand camera aimed at amateur travel photography, and survives today only as a rare collector's item.
With just one documented UK sale in our records — a hammer result of £2,000 at a Leitz Photographica auction in November 2015 — there is no meaningful price range to quote. That single saleroom figure is the only firm reference point for what an Enjalbert Touriste is worth today, and any current value would depend heavily on completeness and condition. Buyers in 2026 should treat this as a thin market where each example sells for whatever a determined collector is willing to pay.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Enjalbert Touriste worth?
Evidence is limited to a single UK auction hammer price of £2,000 in 2015, so any current valuation should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable market price.
How much does an Enjalbert Touriste sell for at auction?
The only recorded sale in our data sold for £2,000 hammer; with no other comparables, the price a given example fetches will depend on condition, completeness and how many specialist collectors bid on the day.
Is the Enjalbert Touriste rare?
Yes — the model appears very infrequently at auction, which is why pricing data is sparse and each sale tends to set its own benchmark.
