Carl Friedrich Höge (1834–1908), also written Carl Frederik Hoege, was a German photographer and entomologist.
Biography
Höge was born in Hamburg, Germany on 2 July 1834.[1][2]
His first job was as a confectioner before becoming a professional photographer.[2] He made entomological collections in Lapland and three collecting trips to Mexico (1879–1880, 1885–1886 and 1896).[2] Höge's trips to Mexico were made on behalf of his friend, the banker and entomologist Julius Flohr (1837–1896).[3]
Höge died in Hamburg on 23 January 1908.[1]
Entomology
Höge is credited as one of the entomologists whose Coleoptera material was used for Frederick Godman and Osbert Salvin's project Biologia Centrali-Americana—the beetles Höge had collected in Mexico were worked on by Henry Walter Bates.[4]
The Mexican Carabinae beetle subspecies Calosoma digueti hoegei Breuning, 1928 was named in honour of Höge.[5]
Photography
Höge had a photography studio at 28 Alter Wandrahm, Hamburg,[6] as can be seen from the address printed on a Höge cabinet card (collection of the British Museum).[7] In 1886, Höge's photography business was based at 41 Schäferkampsallee, Hamburg.[8]
