Literature:
Charles-Guillaume Diehl (of German origin) was born in Steinbach (Grand Duchy of Hesse) on July 20, 1811. He moved to Paris in 1840, to 3 rue de Thorigny and then to 170 rue Saint-Martin, but did not appear in the Trade Almanac until 1850. At this point, he settled at 16 Rue Michel-le-comte. He then moved to number 21 on the same street (1851-1842) and to number 19, where he remained until his death (1853-1885). His workshops were located at 39 Rue Saint-Sebastien, where he employed six hundred workers in 1870.

Diehl is considered one of the most innovative artists of the 19th century, also winning a bronze medal at the 1855 Paris Universal Exhibition.
