<b>1913 Gand, Foire</b> Levi, also known as Louis, ° 10.10.1880. Second-generation fairground photographer. Probably already active on the Ghent fairground in 1911. His father Isaac (° Nijmegen [NL] 2.12.1855) was recorded as a photographer living in Breda [NL] at another son's wedding in Brussels - Anderlecht on 20.5.1908, while a third son Philippe (° Ghent, 14.1.1885), acting as witness, was recorded as a photographer living in Brussels - Anderlecht. Various files in the foreigners' registry attest to the father's activity as an itinerant or fairground photographer in Antwerp on an annual basis in the 1890s.
