professional photographer, was working at Sydney in 1856 when Bell’s Life noted 'several likenesses taken by him of persons after death, very faithfully portrayed, doubtless truly valuable as a remembrance to their surviving friends’. This is presumably the Monsieur Lacombe described as 'an amateur from Lyons’ who exhibited photographs at the 1855 Paris Universal Exhibition. On 8 January 1887 Anthony’s Photographic Bulletin published 'Photography at Long Range’, an article which discussed the telephotographic work of Mr Larcombe and Emile Mathieu as reported in La Nature .
