Early and late


The future King Edward VII, as Prince of Wales (in French, Prince de Galles), by Duroni & Murer of 12 Rue Vivienne in Paris. The Duroni in the name is presumably Alessandro Duroni (1807-1870), who began his career as an optical instrument maker based in Milan. At the time this carte de visite was produced, the Duroni & Murer studio was the court photographer for King Vittorio Emanuele II of Italy, who held that title 1861-78.
