Description
This photograph of the Marquise de Bourdeille is typically a "carte de visite" format invented by André Adolphe Eugène Disdéri in 1854. Indeed, the landscape behind is a fake background: it is painted, the model is photographed full foot. The Marquise de Bourdeille is wearing a large dress, a hat with some flowers and a coat.
