Mac-Mahon c. 1876

This is a photogravure print titled "Mac-Mahon" by the French publisher Goupil & Cie. The print features a portrait of French Marshal Patrice de Mac-Mahon, who is riding a horse. The photogravure process, popular in the late 19th century, allows for detailed images and rich tones. The print, now part of the Art Institute of Chicago’s collection, was created around 1876. This piece offers a glimpse into the photographic techniques and portraiture trends of that period.
