This print, created between 1804 and 1859, is a portrait of Édouard Mortier, Duc de Trévise, a French Marshal, by Achille Collas. The image depicts Mortier in profile, within a circular frame, and was likely created using a method called "daguerreotype", a precursor to modern photography. The image is a testament to Collas's mastery of this technique and serves as a historical record of Mortier's likeness.
