| Rubellin Backmark for "Rubellin, Photographe, 194 Rue Franque 194, Smyrne." [Street number altered and handwritten] 1863-1868 (ca) Carte de visite, back Private collection of Theodor E. Ulieriu-Rostás Accession no. 2020.009 LL/107287 Philibert Rubellin (Smyrna / Izmir)
(Theodor E. Ulieriu-Rostás, 15 December 2020) As far as I could find out, there were two Rubellins in Smyrna, father and son. Philibert R. (b. 1821, Lyon) is the father, François Alphonse R. (1867-1903) the son. They worked together, hence Maison Rubellin from the 1880s (?) onwards.
