Mlle Stoïkoff 1861

André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri was a pioneer of the Carte de Visite photograph. This album page, from 1861, contains six images capturing Mlle Stoïkoff in a variety of poses with a male partner. The series of images shows a woman in a white dress interacting with her partner, showcasing the possibilities of the new photographic technique. The six images are arranged in two rows of three, creating a visual narrative of the pair's movement and interaction. Disdéri's use of the Carte de Visite format helped to popularize photography and contributed to its development as an art form.
