Founded in 1895 Antoine Boyer who was succeeded by his sons, the business was sold in 1925 to André Lévy (1890-1965), the son of Abraham Lévy, optician in Orléans. Before 1914 André Levy worked in the sales section of Lacour-Berthiot and at the. time he purchased Boyer,for Baille-Lemaire as director of the photographic departement. His wife, Suzanne Lévy-Bloch (1894-1974) was the daughter of Paul Bloch, an architect from Alsace working in Paris. She had followed higher studies in mathematics and worked in the Ecole Supérieure d’Optique and the Institut d’Optique Théorique et Appliquéeher superviror being Henri Chrétien. From 1925 until the death of her husband in 1965, it was she alone who devised the optical systems for Boyer. These were objective lenses for general research, the Geographical Service of th Army, and for television. Their son, Robert Lévy, continued to run the business up until its purchase (c. 1970) by CEDIS. It then became a minor establishment devoted to optical. calculation and the final assembly of objective lenses, the making of the lenses being sub-contracted to ex employees of Boyer. The business finally closed in 1982.
