Louis Langfier AND Louis Saul
Langfier Louis Saul Langfier had
photographic businesses in Glasgow,
Edinburgh and London.
His daughter, Iris, reports that Louis Saul
Langfier was "the official court photographer in London". Here is a
document in which Langfier claims an impressive list of
patronages. However this document may relate to Louis Langfier
rather than Louis Saul Langfier.
Joan Ireland, descendant of Louis Langfier, tells me that Louis
Langfier was a different photographer from Louis Saul Langfier, and that
it was Louis Langfier who displayed the Royal Coat of Arms against his
name.
Louis Saul Langfier
Louis Saul Langfier and his brother, Adolph, came to
Britain from Poland . The date of their immigration is no known. He was
living in London at the time of the 1901 census with his wife, Ellen, and
son, Adolph. (All of this paragraph, or perhaps
just the second sentence may actually refer to Louis Langfier, not Louis
Langfier.)
Louis Saul Langfier died in 1925. Please click here to see a photograph of Louis Saul Langfier's
gravestone with his brother Adolph standing beside it.
