                                 Gustave Hermans (1856-1934) was a Belgium photographer and publisher active from 1884 into the 20th century working in Anvers.  One source notes a connection with the Neurdien of Paris around 1885.  He is also noted as an early pioneer in the postcard industry.   In the Directory of Photographers Working in Belgium 1839-1905, his entry for 1892-1914 reads, “Collotype, photogravure.  Publisher of postcards (views of Belgian towns).  Illustrations for artistic and scientific works.  Printer.  Industrial albums.  Line and halftone blocks.”
