Portret van de heer Poujade c. 1860 - 1865

"Portret van de heer Poujade" is a portrait photograph taken by Robert Jefferson Bingham, a British photographer, sometime between 1860 and 1865. The photograph depicts a man, likely Mr. Poujade, standing with his arm resting on a piece of furniture, against a plain background. This photograph is a fine example of early photographic portraiture which became popular in the 19th century. The formal, yet simple presentation of the sitter in this daguerreotype is representative of this style.
