EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portraits sitting 41494: Docteur Magnan and his son and daughter" captures a beautiful moment frozen in time. Taken around 1861 by the talented photographer Andre Adolphe Eugene Disderi, this albumen print showcases the close bond between a father and his children. In the image, we see Dr. Magnan standing proudly with his son and daughter beside him. The full-length composition allows us to appreciate their elegant attire, highlighting their social status. The doctor exudes an air of authority while maintaining a gentle expression towards his little ones. The young boy stands confidently next to his father, mirroring his proud stance. His sister, on the other hand, appears more reserved but radiates innocence as she gazes directly at the camera. Their contrasting personalities are beautifully captured in this single frame. The use of uncut cartes de visite adds an interesting element to this piece of art history. These small photographic prints were often exchanged among friends or family members as tokens of affection or remembrance during that era. This remarkable photograph is now housed in the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Canada. Its acquisition was made possible through generous donations made in memory of Eric Steiner in 2003. This timeless portrait serves as a testament to both Disderi's skillful photography techniques and the enduring love within Dr. Magnan's family for generations to come.
