Activity
1901 - 1903 / Anvers, Rue Cuylits, 84
Adolph Désiré Xavier, ° 15.1.1867; + 29.7.1942. Collotype and photozincography. At his wedding in Antwerp in June 1897, recorded as a commercial traveller and then in November 1898 and January 1906 as a photographer. Picture postcards published at this address postmarked August 1901. Address still recorded in the 1913 Monod directory.
1903 * - 1920 > Anvers - Borgerhout, Avenue Plantin, 293 (Est) [Plantijnlei]
Collotype and photozincography. Hendrix received planning permission on 27.11.1902 to build a house here, which included a photographic studio on its north-facing rear upper floor. Picture postcards published at this address postmarked September 1903. Resident at this address for the rest of his life. The Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA) in Brussels possesses a collection of 576 negatives sold by Hendrix’s daughter Maria in 1970 and dating from 1903 to 1950. Since Hendrix disappeared from the directories after 1924, it is doubtful whether he was indeed the author of all the later photographs. In any case, Hendrix was described on his death certificate as a dealer in office supplies.
