Bruges, 1871 - ?, ?
Activity
1893 - 1900 / Ostende, Rue Longue, 62
Predecessor: Ketels Jean
Jules Albert Antoine, ° 21.5.1871. Son of Jean and elder brother of Charles Ketels (see those names). Advertising in his own name at this address in June 1893 but he had quite possibly taken over operations from his father by the early 1890s.
1894 - 1897 Ostende, Rue du Quai, 63
Initial "J." in the directories. Ketels' mother had died at this address on 18.11.1891. It is unclear whether there was also a studio here.
1896 - 1897 Ostende, Rue du Midi
1900 * - 1912 / Ostende, Rue de la Chapelle, 72<00> then 66<01-12>
Successor: Bauwens Emile
Initial "P." in the directory in 1900. The studio opened in late February 1900. "For the past ten days or so, everyone has stopped in front of the luxurious window display in rue de la Chapelle where Mr Ketels, the well-known photographer, has just established his new studio.... Mr Ketels has installed new facilities enabling him to photograph at night as well as during the day, with the requisite sharpness and finish" (L'Echo d'Ostende, 6.3.1900). It is possible that Jules Ketels was initially assisted by his brother Charles at this address. Moved officially to Liège on 17.2.1912 but the Ostend studio was still listed under Ketels' name in the 1913-1914 directories.
1911 * - 1914 > Liège, Boulevard de la Sauvenière, 2
Already recorded as a photographer and tenant here when the building was put up for sale in October 1911: "...occupied by Mr Ketels, photographer, for the modest sum of 3 800 francs, the tenant having made considerable alterations at his own cost" (La Meuse, 28.10.1911). Had reportedly been established here for a few months when he lowered his prices as a promotional stunt in June 1912 (La Meuse, 28.6.1912). Subsequently recorded as a photographer at this address when his wife died in April 1914 and again at the occasion of his second wedding in Liège on 22.8.1916. Still advertising here in May 1921. Ketels subsequently closed the studio and left Liège for Roclenge-sur-Geer (Bassenge) on 20.10.1922.
