by Bonaparte, Napoleon
Three Carte de Visite (CDV) photographs of Napoleon Bonaparte. The carte de visites are original albumen photographic prints from a collodion negative. One of the CDVs is a close-up portrait of the Napoleon from Paul Delaroche's Napoleon at Fontainebleau. There is also an image of Napoleon with child in his study, which is from an engraving by Alexandre Vincent Sixdeniers. The last CDV is from a lithograph by Johann Jakob Frey. He is pictured with this military uniform, hat, sword, and appears to be holding a decree or manuscript. In the background are some of his Mamluk bodyguards. These CDVs are from the 1860s-early 1870s. All in very good condition overall. All three CDVs have pencil captions on verso.
