ABOUT THE ARTIST

Léon Crémière started as an assistant to André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri, before opening his own studio in Paris in 1862, specializing in the photography of hunting dogs and horses.

Working from his studio at 28 Rue Laval, he became the house photographer and publisher for Napoleon III in 1866. He used the pen-name "de Lazare".

He published photographic collections, and in 1866 founded Le Centaure, a weeky illustrated magazine of sport, hunting, farming and arts, which was published until 1868. The published etchings were created from photographs. The illustrator Crafty published several drawings, and his first two collections Snob à Paris and Snob à l'Exposition were published by Crémière in 1866 and 1867.
