Try "Marc le Noir".
It is from Lisbon in Portugal.
95 Rua do Almada primeiro andar Lisboa.
"Marc Le Noir foi retratista de figuras da alta burguesia e fotógrafo de arte com casa estabelecida na rua Nova do Almada, 95, 1º Esq. em Lisboa, que desapareceu no incêndio do Chiado em 1988. Existem fotografias do mesmo autor nos arquivos da Casa Museu de Monção e Câmara Municipal de Mafra. "
