EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Visual Narration of the Photographic Fever Sweeping Through 1840s Paris This print, titled "La Daguerreotypomanie," offers a humorous yet insightful commentary on the societal frenzy that ensued following the public unveiling of Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre's groundbreaking photographic process in 1839. The French caricature illustrates the overwhelming enthusiasm and eagerness of the populace to experience this new form of art. The image is filled with a multitude of intriguing details that encapsulate the essence of the photographic craze. Long lines of people stretch out, waiting their turn to be captured on a daguerreotype. Their expressions convey a mix of excitement and anticipation, reflecting the allure of this novel technology. In the background, others are seen providing training and supplying an array of photographic equipment, fueling the growing demand. However, the print also carries a satirical undertone, as several men dangle precariously from gallows labeled "Potences a louer pour MM les graveurs" (loan gallows for engravers). This grim representation symbolizes the potential demise of traditional art forms in the face of this revolutionary new medium. A whimsical addition to the scene is a hot air balloon, its basket containing a large camera, soaring in the sky. This playful element highlights the innovative spirit of the age and the boundless potential that photography held for the future. This print, dated 1840, from the Tissandier collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aeronautics and the transformative impact of photography on society. It serves as a testament to the enduring allure of innovation and the human desire to document and preserve memories.
