The Ferrier and Soulier company was created by Claude-Marie FERRIER (1811-1889) and Charles SOULIER (1816-1886) in 1859. It specialized in the production of stereoscopic views.

Soulier's plaques depicted a variety of subjects, including landscapes, monuments, urban scenes, and historical events.

Stereoscopic glass plates were considered high-quality products and aesthetically superior to paper stereoscopies. They were heavier and more fragile, but offered better image quality and a more immersive viewing experience.

The works of Ferrier and Soulier are now considered collector's items.
