<b>1908 ca Bruxelles</b> Portrait CAB bearing a printed credit and statement "Photo. Amateur". Despite this statement, the printed card mount and deployment of a studio backdrop are characteristics closely associated with professional practice. We are unable to reconcile the photographer's identity with the address printed on the mount, Chaussée d'Anvers, 159. In the 1908 Brussels directory, the sole listing of a Th. Van Assche is for a jeweller and watchmaker at Rue Marché au Charbon, 38.
