Jules Agostini

Colonial engineer and amateur photographer Jules Agostini (1859-1930) has traveled extensively in the Far East, including Cambodia. His fame as a photographer came to the headlines when unknown photos of French painter Paul Gaugin and some of his Tahitian models were discovered in one of his photo-albums in 2015. Agostini had stayed at Gauguin's house in Tahiti with another photographer, Henri Lemasson.
