V Queniaus 1860

This 1860 photograph by André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri, titled "V Queniaus," is a series of four images showcasing a woman in various poses. The use of multiple images within one frame captures a sense of movement and the passing of time, a hallmark of early photographic experimentation. Disdéri, a pioneer in the field of portraiture, was known for his innovative "carte de visite" format. This work, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an example of his creative exploration of capturing motion in still photography.
