The name was not actually adopted until 1886, when Albert Chevojon (1865–1925) purchased the business from the Durandelle and Delmaet studio. The studio worked for numerous architectural firms, contractors, industrialists, art publishers, metalworkers, and others. Many renowned photographers have taken photographs for this studio.
