Although the cardboard has been cut [on another photograph] the address '4. Rue Frochot, Quartier St. George' is still visible. It's here where Erwin Hanfstaengl had his Paris studio from 1863 on. We found several CdV's of the Erwin frères who had the same furniture, chair and studio decoration.
Interesting to have identified the photographer of this portrait because another part of these portraits is currently in the collection of the The Anne S. K. Brown Military Collection. These portraits are of an 'unknown' maker and not tinted. Because of the same furniture, style, format and topic we can almost certainly say these portraits are also made by Erwin Hanfstaengl in Paris around 1863. Of course the photo session could have been earlier on his other address (Rue Frochot, 2). He started as a photographer in 1853.
