André-Adolphe-Eugène DISDÉRI(1819-1889) was a French photographer who started his photographic career as a daguerreotypist but gained greater fame for patenting his version of the carte de visite, a small photographic image which was mounted on a card. Disdéri was a brilliant showman and made this system of mass-production portraiture world famous.
