Charles Gallot

Charles Gallot was a French photographer who worked in Paris in the late 19th century. Gallot specialised in portraiture, capturing his sitters in a formal, studio setting, often using a simple oval frame for the portrait. These studio portraits were often used as Carte de Visite, a type of small photograph popular in the mid-19th century, used to share images of oneself or loved ones. The images often depict individuals in fashionable dress, highlighting the social trends of the era.
