FOUND: Agence Meurisse; This was indeed a French press photo agency, based in Paris, active between early 20th century and 1937, when it was bought by another agency, S.A.F.A.R.A, which itself stopped operating post WW2. The S.A.F.A.R.A collection, including Meurisse was acquired in the 1960s by Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
Thanks to Nathalie at Roger-Viollet for forwarding this information.
