Carl Vandyk (17 January 1851 – 18 November 1931) was a successful London photographer[1] born in Bunde, Germany. From 1882 he owned a studio at Gloucester Road taking images of the British Royal Family including Queen Victoria, King George V as well as other notables such as the King of Siam[disambiguation needed], the Shah of Persia[disambiguation needed], Buffalo Bill and Enrico Caruso.[2][3] From 1901 the studio moved to Buckingham Palace Road, London.[4]

Carl became a British citizen on 4 February 1886.[5]

Carl's son Herbert Vandyk (1879–1943) took over the family business in 1913 after studying in London, Berlin and Paris and went on to accumulate 22 Royal Warrants.[4][2]

Carl Vandyk owned 3 London hotels[2] close to his studios:

  • The Rembrandt Hotel, Thurloe Place, London SW
  • The Rubens Hotel, Buckingham Palace Road, London SW
  • The Vandyke Hotel, Cromwell Road, London SW7

Carl had 2 brothers, Aaron Vandyke (1843–1892) and Herman Vandyke (aka Hyman) (aka Vandyck) (1838–1919) who were also in the photographic trade. Aaron had studios in Liverpool from c.1869 until c.1902 [6] and Herman in West London from c.1881 until c.1904.[7]
