Eugenio Courret

Eugène Courret (1839 – 1920), known as Eugenio, was a French photographer who was based in Lima, Peru.

[1] Courret came to Lima in 1860 to work as a cameraman in the photographic studio of Eugène Maunoury.

In 1887, he founded a studio with Adolphe Dubreuil, and in the 1890s, he returned to France, where he continued his photographic work.

[citation needed] The Courret studio went bankrupt in 1935, by which time it housed more than 150,000 negatives.

Many of the creditors received these glass negatives as part payment in lieu of the money they were owed.
