Details

Life dates

Brussels - Saint-Josse, 1845 - Gosselies, 1922

Activity

1869 * - 1897 / Namur, Rue de Fer, 60
Predecessor: Dupont Henri (Mr & Mme)
Jean Baptiste Hippolyte ° 12.6.1845 (another source gives 1843); + 11.1.1922. Arrived from Charleroi and registered in Namur on 1.7.1869, but legal domicile remained in Brussels - Saint-Josse.  Formerly an operator at the Dupont studio. It was apparently Gevaert who ran the branch studio at the same address and then took it over under his own name. His activity at this address cannot have been continuous, since he spent the second half of the 1870s in Northern France. At his wedding in Roubaix [Nord, F] on 17.7.1875, Gevaert was recorded as a photographer domiciled in Roubaix. His studio around this time was at Rue de l'Hospice, 20. He was then recorded as domiciled and resident in Tourcoing [Nord, F] in May 1880. Gevaert left Namur for Gosselies on 7.12.1897.
1903 - 1914 Gosselies, Rue de la Station, 9 or 3<05ca>
Perhaps active immediately upon arrival in Gosselies in 1897. Spelled "Gevaers", no street address, in the 1914 trade directory.
