Description Louis-Auguste Bisson, Young woman. ¼ plate daguerreotype in a small frame with a hanging loop and a label on the verso. The plate is in an oval mat. It is sealed all across the back, and held together by a decorative green tape. Louis-Auguste was the older of two brothers. He operated at the address on the label in 1844. The label advertises that he could make daguerreotypes in shadowy interiors that would be perfect in a few seconds. The small circle beneath the oval has his initials embossed. In the 1850’s his brother joined him and they continued to make daguerreotypes and photographs on paper. The woman has her head slightly tilted. She seems both shy and flirtatious
Thee is a hand-written name on the backing tape beneath the label. More likely an early ownder rather than the subject. Images sell!
