History
Henri Le Lieur (1831-1914) was a French photographer and collector who mostly worked in Italy, where he had settled in 1859. He first travelled there following the French army of Napoleon III, during the Second Italian War of Independence. He established his first photographic studio in Torino and became the king’s official photographer, before moving to Rome, where he died. He was particularly involved in stereoscopic photography.
