Empress Eugénie, Cdv By Disderi Circa 1860, Vintage Albumen Print, Photograph
Artist: E.disderi
Portrait of Empress Eugénie by Eugène Disderi. Albumen print, carte-de-visite format. An iconic example of Second Empire photography, this carte-de-visite was highly prized as a collector's item or souvenir at the time. Disderi captured the elegance and prestige of Empress Eugénie de Montijo, wife of Napoleon III, thus contributing to the dissemination of her image throughout Europe. Eugène Disderi (1819-1889) invented the carte-de-visite portrait in 1854. He developed a multi-lens camera that allowed for several exposures to be taken on a single negative, thus reducing production costs. He thus contributed to popularizing photography and disseminating photographs in the carte-de-visite format.
