Activity

Seraphinus Richardus, ° 11.11.1857; + 17.3.1919. Married Maria Sophia Alida Walleghem (° Alost, 12.7.1871) in Eecloo on 9.11.1891. Initials sometimes "R.S." in directories. Consistently advertised as a photographer and graphic artist. Heysse was also a printer and bookseller. His printing works operated at no. 16 (renumbered 20) in 1895. It is unclear when Heysse ceased operating as a photographer although he was still listed under photographers, with no street address, in the 1914 directory. He certainly continued as a photomechanical printer. He commenced publication of a weekly free sheet “Annoncenblad van Eecloo en het Meetjesland” on 2.6.1907 including advertisements of properties “in photo-engraving as natural illustrations”. The last documented issue dated 26.1.1908 contained an illustration of Heysse’s shop at Rue de la Station, 20.
