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-toulouse-droit/ )

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.
