About This Image

Titled and signed in period ink with the location (Anvers) on the recto of the mount with photographer\'s early Brussels blindstamp. Possibly made from a paper negative.

Ghemar & Severin were early Belgium photographers based in Antwerp (or Anvers). They moved to Brussels in January 1856. The photo appears to have been taken and printed well before the move, given the Anvers location and the plant at bottom right, but perhaps they sold it with the new stamp just after the move.

Most U.S. domestic Fed Ex ground shipping (Media Mail for books) is free of charge except for larger and heavier items, or unless the buyer wants express shipping (email us your requests for the latter). International shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania buyers must pay appropriate local sales tax. International clients are responsible for their local customs duties and taxes, which will be charged by Fed Ex, which will contact the client prior to delivery.
