Activity

1870 Bruxelles - Schaerbeek, Rue Van Dyck, 28
Jean Jacques Marie, ° 23.4.1844; + 11.9.1908. Younger brother of Eugène (see that name). On his father's death certificate of 1.5.1867, he was recorded as a photographer aged 23 domiciled in Brussels - Schaerbeek. His profession was again given as photographer on his mother's death certificate on 29.10.1868, which he signed "Jacques Boitson". His parents lived at Rue Van Dyck, 28, the same location as this studio. An obituary notice described Boitson as a "former operator with Géruzet" (Le Soir, 12.9.1908). This suggests that Boitson spent a large part of his career in the service of Géruzet Frères in Brussels.
