EDITORS COMMENTS
This photographic print, titled the Disderi Portrait Mosaic of English Luminaries of the 1860s, is a rare collage mosaic created by the renowned French photographer André-Adolphe-Eugène Disderi. Disderi, who began his photographic career as a daguerreotypist, gained greater fame for his invention of the carte de visite, a small photographic image mounted on a card. This mosaic, circa 1862, is a unique representation of well-known English personalities of the mid-19th century. The mosaic features a collage of individual portraits arranged in a decorative pattern, creating an intriguing visual composition. Some of the notable Englishmen depicted include Lord Sidney, Sir Robert Peel, Duke of Hamilton, Herbert, Grosvenor, Baron Cowley, Elgin, Stratford, Redcliffe, Thomas Bruce, Gawen, Admiral Osborne, General Hodgson, Gray, Taunton, Woodford, Magistrate Spencer, Stuart, Macintosh, Worsley, Slade, Duff, Vane Tempest, Rich, Londonderry, Gladstone, Lucan, Count Pease, and Manners. This collage mosaic is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a visual representation of the influential figures of the time. The intricate arrangement of the individual portraits creates a visually appealing and thought-provoking composition. Disderi's innovative approach to photography and his ability to capture the likenesses of these prominent Englishmen make this mosaic a valuable historical artifact.
