Apparently there isn't much to know about this photographer, and what can be told of him are just "recollections and legends". A facts could be said though; he was born in Libourne, France in 1857 and worked as a sailor. Once he finished that, he moved onto become an actor, but didn't find much success in that. He tried painting, didn't like it, and moved onto photography around age 40.
