This 1859 carte de visite by French photographer André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri features a “mosaïque” of portraits, a technique he pioneered. The composition includes prominent figures like King Willem III, Emperor Napoléon III, and Crown Prince Willem, arranged in a layered, pyramid-like formation. This innovative and popular format, known as the "carte de visite", revolutionized portrait photography in the 19th century. The small size and affordability of these images made them a widely collected and exchanged form of social currency.
