Self-portrait of Eugène Disderi consulting a CDV album
 Business card format: 9 x 5.5 cm
 Eugène Disderi (1819-1889) invented the carte-de-visite portrait in 1854. He developed a multi-lens camera that allowed for multiple exposures on a single negative, thus reducing production costs. He thereby contributed to popularizing photography and disseminating carte-de-visite photographs.
 A self-portrait from the same series is part of the collection of the Musée d'Orsay.
