Description: | A carte-de-visite portrait of a woman, taken by a Camille Silvy in 1962. The painted backdrop includes a classical column, suggesting the grounds or conservatory of a country house. A carte-de-visite is a photograph mounted on a piece of card the size of a formal visiting card of the 1850s - hence the name. The format was introduced by the French photographer Andre-Adolphe-Eugene Disd�ri (1819-1889) in 1854. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photograph carte-de-visite | Temporal: | 1862-09-15 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Silvy, Camille (1834-1910) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/22392 | Go to resource |
