The business partnership between Gaudenzio Diviani and Jacob Monte was dissolved on 12 August 1867.

'Notice is hearby given that the Partnership, hitherto subsisting between us the undersigned, Gaudenzio Diviani and Jacob Monte carrying on business at Railway-place, Holloway Road, in the parish of Saint Mary, Islington and at No. 4 Greenland-place, Camden-town, in the parish of Saint Pancras, both in the county of Middlesex, as Photographic Artists, has this day been dissolved by mutual consent. Dated this 12th day of August,1867' (London Gazette, 13 August 1867).

Diviani continued the business on his own for few more years but Post Office directories suggest his closed his studio and ceased operating as a photographer in 1874. When the census was taken in 1881 he had returned to his original profession and was a 'confectioner.' He died in the first quarter of 1910 at Edmonton in North London at the age of 76.
