Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre is the subject here, and this print is a photomechanical reproduction of a portrait that appeared in Maurice Devriés's book Dans L'Intimité de personnages illustres, a collection of intimate portraits of notable nineteenth-century figures. Daguerre, a French painter and stage designer, is best remembered for developing the daguerreotype, the first practical photographic process, which was announced publicly in Paris in 1839. The book's mid-twentieth-century date is noted on the record as uncertain, so the reproduction's exact origin should be treated with some caution, but the image connects directly to the era when photography was first taking shape.
