Emile Louis Philippe Severeyns, ° 6.8.1851; + 28.9.1903. He was never formally registered at this address. Member of a family of lithographers; his father Guillaume worked in Brussels while the printing and lithography works of L. Severeyns were located at this Liège address in the 1860s and early 1870s. It was run by his elder half brother Louis Philippe Guillaume, sometimes referred to as Severeyns - Michel after his first wife whom he married in 1859.
Studio opened on 1.5.1872. Collective portrait of a sports club in 1873: "Mr Severeyns, the photographer and member of the "Société [liégeoise] de gymnastique", has been charged with making the print, which will go on sale and copies of which are displayed in his shop in rue de l'Université" (La Meuse, 11.7.1873).
