Literature:
Charles-Guillaume Diehl (of German origin) was born in Steinbach (Grand Duchy of Hesse) on 20 July 1811. He moved to Paris in 1840, to 3 rue de Thorigny and then 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 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, even winning a bronze medal at the 1855 Universal Exhibition in Paris.
