 Julien Mandel is a photographer whose biography is shrouded in mystery…sometimes he was born in 1893 in Poland, exiled to Brazil where he supposedly died in 1961 after his Parisian studio went bankrupt, or else he was born in 1872 in Alsace and died in 1935 in Paris…It is also said that it could be a pseudonym behind which the photographer Walery was hiding!
