Eugène Courret (1839 – 1920), known as Eugenio, was a French photographer who was based in Lima, Peru.
Biography
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. Among those who received such payment was the Rengifo family, who kept 54,000 plaques. In 1987 that family gave the negatives to the National Library of Peru to be protected.[citation needed]
