Berthe 1862

This carte de visite photograph, "Berthe" by André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri, is a fascinating example of the "photographic tableau," a popular format in the 19th century. The image features a young woman, Berthe, in six different poses, interacting with a small sculpture. Disdéri’s innovative use of a multi-lens camera allowed for the capture of multiple exposures within a single frame, showcasing Berthe's movements and expressions. "Berthe" is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
