http://www.vivoscuola.it/us/dlllsn3095/alad/030527.htm A quick search for bahuet and ritratto found this. No more info, but it gives an Italian spelling of his name. He seems to be variously called Giovanni and Gioninni. Jeannin and Jean would be the French spellings of his name. It all makes sense, in English it would be John;) Or some diminuitive?

I have several books from the start of the 20thC that uses this process. http://www.curtis-collection.com/process.html http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/microsites/photography/processframe.php?processid=pr017 > Got 'em!
