La Mert gave his address as 309 George Street, over Fotheringham & Mullen’s Auction Rooms. In March 1862 he was advertising that in order to meet increased demand he would in future take four likenesses for 10s 6d or ten for a guinea. In June he stated that he was about to resume business at the same address, having just recovered from a severe accident.
