19th Century Day, Part 2 - Unknown Photographers
The French National Library has only the year, 1855, for the first of six
A good photo considering the photographic technology in 1855 ! No refined chemicals, fine photographic papers, or high tech lights and cameras. And many professional photographers in that era were self taught. Rex in DC
Hmm, interesting. This photo shows up in my sources as: Anonymous (French), Male Nude Study c. 1843, Daguerreotype. Nice picture from a long time ago, anyway.
These very early ones are magical. Just casually leaning. Only slight movement visible in his eyes.
