Fotoreproductie van een portret van Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre naar Mayer & Pierson door Plant 1850 - 1860

This small, 19th-century photo by Paul Emile Pesme is a reproduction of a portrait of Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre, a pioneering French photographer. The image is a carte-de-visite, a popular photographic format in the mid-19th century. Daguerre is shown in a formal pose, seated with one hand resting on his head, likely a common portrait pose of the time. The photograph, though a reproduction, provides a glimpse into the early days of photography and the evolving practices of portraiture.
