Louis-Auguste Bisson was a pioneering French photographer known for his early use of daguerreotypes in portrait photography. His detailed, high-quality images contributed to the rise of portraiture in mid-19th century France, and though he later became renowned for architectural photography, his work with daguerreotypes helped establish the medium’s popularity. – Some light signs of oxidation and silver mirroring along edges of plate, otherwise in very good condition.
