Bezoek van koningin Victoria aan Parijs, augustus 1855 1855

This photograph, taken by André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri in 1855, captures the visit of Queen Victoria to Paris. The image depicts a public event, likely a procession, with a large crowd gathered around a platform adorned with flags. The detail of the scene suggests a formal occasion, perhaps a state visit, and highlights the growing popularity of photography as a tool for documenting historical events. This image is a key example of early photographic documentation of royalty and social events.
