Perraud on the lower right corner of the mat. Nevertheless the plate bears the stamped name of ABRESCH who was a German daguerreotypist. No dates are available for Abresch, he is know for having travelled in 1845 in Italy then in Turkey. Some images by Abresch bearing the same stamp are preserved by the Technische Sammlungen Dresden.
