According to the seller, Gabriele Bacchiega (eBay profile photo-stereo) all these Autochromes are somehow related to the writer and socialite Ernesta Stern (born Maria Ernesta Hierschel de Minerbi, pen-name Maria Star) (1854 – 1926) or the Salon she held in Paris at 68 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré.
