Notes: Léon Crémière was born in Paris in 1831. He apparently entered the photographic profession in the late 1850’s as Crémière & Cie before opening a studio in 1860 or 1861 at 28, rue Laval with Erwin Hanfstaengl, a brother of the noted Munich photographer, Franz Hanfstaengl. Portraits produced in 1861 signed Crémière et Hanfstaengl are consistent with the style of the German master in their use of elaborate fabrics, carved accessories, and deep brown tonality. During the 1860’s, Crémière was best known for his portraits of animals, which won him a honourable mention in London in 1862. He covered various canine contests in 1863, 1865 and 1867, and was commissioned to photograph the Emperor’s hunts. He also continued to produce both carte-de-visite and large format portraits until the Franco-Prussian War. In the late 1870’s, his name reappears in directories at a new address: 111, rue de Saussure.
