An elegant series of ten original carte-de-visite portraits, taken by Parisian photographers active between 1870 and 1900. Each one testifies to the refinement of late 19th-century studio photography: masterful poses, painted backgrounds, bourgeois attire, and finely printed typographic backs. Each print is a studio work, bearing the photographer's signature and address. These portraits are offered individually – collect them according to your preferences for period, style, or typography.
