Portrait of Princess Henriette de Vendôme. Member of the ABP from 13.7.1875 ("Gunther, photographer, in Brussels") although, given his extreme youth, initial membership was quite possibly in the person of Guillaume Günther until the latter's death in 1879. Not a member of the ABP from 1879 until 1891. Partnership "J. & C. Günther" listed at this address in the 1914 directory, then A. Günther from 1921 to 1930.
