Mlle Troisvalets 1863

This 1863 carte-de-visite photograph by André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri, known for his groundbreaking work in portraiture, captures a series of poses of a ballerina named Mlle Troisvalets. The image, originally part of an album, is notable for its use of the "stéréoscopique" format, which presents multiple views of the subject from different angles, showcasing the movement of the ballerina. Disdéri's innovative use of this technique revolutionized portraiture, bringing an element of dynamism and narrative to static images. This image is a testament to the artistry and technical mastery of the photographer, highlighting the elegance and grace of the ballerina.
