The Juggler Manoel 1861

André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri's 1861 photograph "The Juggler Manoel" captures a series of four poses of the performer, Manoel, as he juggles while standing on a ball. The image is a prime example of Disdéri's innovative use of the "carte de visite" format, allowing for multiple images on a single card. Disdéri's work contributed significantly to the development of photography as an art form, and "The Juggler Manoel" showcases his talent for capturing movement and creating a sense of dynamism in a static medium.
