De Laurière was apparently an amateur French photographer who worked in Italy and vicinity during the 1850s. Location is unknown. Reverse of mount is inscribed 'Trouvé a Salonique'. The photographer's blue rubber stamp appears once on the mount recto and twice on the verso. His work is rarely seen but can be evocative and reminiscent of artists' studies made by the group of early artist/photographers based in Italy.
