Predecessor: Piron François (& Cie) # Successor: Atelier Photographique Belge
Studio that co-existed with Quai Sainte-Aldegonde. On CV, addresses of both studios listed in French and (approximate) English. Auguste Van Moegen may well have been an operator here, since he was registered at this address from 3.6.1873 to 25.7.1876. Also see entry for Van Moegen, [A.] & De Brender.
1894 - 1906 / Anvers, Rue des Cerises, 7
Successor: Rubbens [H.] & Van Neck [L.]
Piéron bought this house on 8.8.1892 and requested a building permit at this address a month later. "Near Canal des Brasseurs". From his studio situated on the 4th floor he photographed ships arriving in port and offered a print for sale to the captain a few minutes later. Photographs of sailors against a backdrop with a panorama of the city; first fire of the "Stapelhuis". The studio served as a meeting point for German expatriate photographers such as Karl Moritz and Ludwig Göbelhoff from Hanover. Piéron's successor Henri Rubbens (see that name) reprinted his maritime views in bromide from copy negatives in around 1930.
