Yes, it's Eugène Trutat dead in 1910 ( i found the following link in french speaking about those pictures http://bibliotheque20.wordpress.com/2008/07/03/flickr-en-bibliotheque-toulou...)
All the pictures uploaded on Flickr by "Bibliothèque de Toulouse" are from him and it seems that they plan to upload thousands of pictures (the full collection is about 5000 pictures)
As it's written that images on Flickr are "scans" from original pictures, it's clearly Public Domain according to the french law.

Well, I looked at the first photo in the photostream, and the photographer is "Trutat, Eugène".
That guy has its own wikipedia article: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Trutat which says he dies in 1910.
We could have a script to create/update a photographer list. We could maintain a list ourselves, and have tools query it.

English version : For the license, it's probably public domain now, but
we
have no indication about when the photographs died. Does anyone have an
idea
how to proceed? Send an e-mail to the library of Toulouse to ask them to etablish a list of the photographs and when they died?
French version : En terme de licence c'est probablement tombé dans le domaine public, encore que on ne sait pas l'année de mort de la plupart
des
photographes. Est-ce que quelqu'un à une idée? Envoyer un courrier à la bibliothèque demandant la liste des photographes et leur année de mort?
