Pluque[?]; Remond 1864

"Pluque[?]; Remond" is a six-image albumen print by André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri from 1864, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This work showcases Disdéri’s innovative use of the Carte de Visite format, a small portrait card that became wildly popular in the mid-19th century. The albumen print captures a single figure, likely an actor or performer, in a variety of poses, each conveying a different emotion or action. Disdéri's mastery of this medium and his keen observation of human expression make this albumen print a fascinating glimpse into the lives of 19th-century individuals.
