EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases L. J. M. Daguerre, a renowned French inventor and artist, in a printers sample for the Worlds Inventors souvenir album. Created in 1888 by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, this exquisite lithograph captures the essence of 19th-century America's fascination with innovation and artistry. Daguerre's distinguished facial hair and moustache add to his charismatic presence as he gazes confidently into the camera lens. As one of history's most famous inventors, Daguerre revolutionized the world of photography with his groundbreaking daguerreotype process. The vibrant colors used in this portrait highlight not only Daguerre's artistic prowess but also pay homage to his French heritage. This trade card serves as a testament to both American and French culture intertwining during that era. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece represents an important chapter in the history of science, literature, and visual arts. It immortalizes Daguerre's significant contributions to society while also serving as a reminder of Allen & Ginter Cigarettes' role in preserving cultural heritage through their souvenir books. As we admire this remarkable photograph print today, we are transported back to a time when inventors like Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre shaped our modern world through their ingenuity and dedication.
