From the early days of the Carte de Visite (CDV) around 1860, for example, a studio photo of Bregazzi's with a lady with a crinoline adorned with lace has been preserved. At the time, the photographer explicitly emphasized his reference to art on the back (lapel) of the cardboard base of the photo print : “Artist. Photogr. Atelier [...] ".

Bregazzi remained known nationwide, in particular for his handwritten consecutively numbered landscape photographs of the nearby scenes of the battle of Langensalza . The photos, which are often sold in cabinet format, sometimes have a blind stamp with details of the photographer and often the year 1891 .

Of the architectural photographs of the house Bregazzi by the year 1897 in the magazine is The Gazebo reprinted recording the birthplace of the magazine founder Ernst Keil in the market street narrated from Langensalza.

The Bregazzi studio was still in operation at the beginning of the 20th century. A portrait photograph of the young Katharina Klara Röcker , who was killed in the first fatal car accident in Langensalza, from 1903 is known. It shows the little girl in clothes typical of the time in the decorated studio shortly before the accident, in which the surgeon Eduard Sonnenburg was involved as a driver.

The Thüringer Allgemeine wrote about the work, the Bregazzi family and the references to the painter and photographer Ferdinand Tellgmann under the title Precious rarities from Langensalza emerged :

“The fact that various photographers in Langensalza worked at a high artistic level more than 100 years ago and that their work can definitely keep up with the quality of today's digital photography is proven by the recordings. In addition, the artistic style of that time seems almost timeless and is now popularly recreated. "

And further:

“For example, at the end of the 19th century," C. Bregazzis Photographisches Atelier "opposite the promenade was well known . The owner was Christian Bregazzi, while his brother Eduard appeared as a photographer in the neighboring town of Mühlhausen . Her sister Cäcilie Bregazzi (1825–1903) met her future husband Ferdinand Tellgmann (1811–1897) in 1842 and fell in love. Tellgmann was a painter and photographer. He and his descendants formed a famous dynasty of photographers in Northern Thuringia and Northern Hesse. "

A branch of the studio in the city of Erfurt is known from around 1900 , which - at the address Anger 43 while retaining the company name - was continued from around 1910 by the " Inh. O. Wegener".
