Hello, We have the title* 'Photography in Japan'* by Bennett as mentioned and in the index of Commercial and Amateur photographers, there are 2 von Stillfried-Rateniczs listed - Franz and Raimund. Franz's dates are 1837 - 1916. I can scan the page and send you his brief biography if required. Thanks, Eleanor Eleanor Johnston Academic Skills Librarian Information Services D140, Thompson Library, Staffordshire University, College Road, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs, ST4 2XS Tel: 01782 294809 On Tue, Apr 14, 2015 at 4:31 PM, Ashton, Janet <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi Bronwen > Based on the publication Wer ist?, 1911, Library of > Congress gives his date of death as 1911 (birth: 1839).
