Portret van Johannes Aegidius Lisman, waarnemend gouverneur Suriname c. 1849

This daguerreotype, created around 1849 by an unknown artist, depicts Johannes Aegidius Lisman, the acting governor of Suriname. The portrait captures Lisman in a formal pose, seated with his right arm resting on the chair arm. His attire, a dark suit with a white shirt and a black cravat, suggests his status and formality of the portrait. The daguerreotype's small size, typical of early photographic portraits, makes it a significant historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the life of a key figure in Suriname's history.
