Their salon will be open from eleven in the morning to five in the evening. [...] Ladies will find a hairdressing establishment in the building (L'Indépendance Belge, 23.6.1851).

Eugène Louis Danguy settled in Paris as a studio photographer at three successive addresses from 1856 to 1879. He then gave up photography and was recorded as a stage artist in 1884.
