Louis Revoil 1865 - 1875

This carte-de-visite photograph, created by the renowned French photographer André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri between 1865 and 1875, showcases a series of poses featuring a woman in a striped dress. The use of multiple poses was a signature technique of Disdéri, who popularized the carte-de-visite format, which allowed for multiple images on a single card. The photograph is a prime example of the popularity of portraiture in the mid-19th century, and the format allowed for the mass distribution and sharing of images. The composition is simple and elegant, focusing on the subject's graceful poses and capturing a glimpse of the fashion of the era.
