Fotoreproductie van een geschilderd portret van François Guizot door Paul Delaroche before 1858

This photo reproduction by Robert Jefferson Bingham (1825-1870) is a portrait of French politician and historian François Guizot. The original painting is attributed to Paul Delaroche, a prominent French Romantic painter, but the exact date of the original artwork is unknown. The photo reproduction, which appears to be from a book or album, shows Guizot seated in a three-quarter profile, looking towards the right of the frame. This photographic reproduction is an interesting example of how photographic technology was used to document and share visual information, such as portraits, in the 19th century.
