Translation originally published in 1951 by John Lehmann Ltd. Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) was one of the foundational figures of French realism and among the most influential novelists of the nineteenth century. His vast interconnected series La Comédie humaine sought to portray every layer of French society through recurring characters and intricate social observation. Balzac's work profoundly influenced writers including Flaubert, Dickens, Proust, and Zola, and remains celebrated for its psychological depth, ambitious scope, and penetrating critique of ambition, money, and class.

No Binding. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. 25x18 cm. Signed by Paul Nadar on the support. Albumen print of the iconic daguerrotype of Balzac by Louis-Auguste Bisson, retouched and reproduced by Paul Nadar who inherited it from his father Felix Nadar. Very rare. According to Nicolas Derville, "les supports photographiques qui ont assuré sa diffusion sont aujourd'hui, et étaient déjà au XIXe siècle extrêmement rares; la plupart ont disparu, et les copies daguerriennes, négatifs, épreuves positives d'époque, ou même des contretypes plus tardifs, ne subsistent de nos jours qu'en très petit nombre.".…

S.l., Bisson Frères photographes, 1860. Dimensions (à vue) : 373 x 282 mm. Grande et belle épreuve photographique sur papier albuminé montée sur carton lithographié, réalisée par les Frères Bisson (monogramme en relief de l'atelier en marge inférieure de la photographie et monogramme aux armes de Pie IX). ''Au même titre que Félix Nadar, Édouard Baldus ou Gustave Le Gray, les Frères Bisson ont été les premiers à essayer de se détacher des techniques imposées par l'usage du daguerréotype, notamment en abandonnant la pose photographique au profit de l'instantané. Actifs pendant l'«âge doré» du mécénat photographique, entre 1847 et 1855, les frères Bisson fondent leur originalité sur l'utilisation de très grands tirages (jusqu'à 100 81 cm) et sur la mise en pratique commerciale de leurs techniques. En effet, de 1852 à 1863, la «maison Bisson frères», rue Garancière, compte jusqu'à trente employés et gagne une renommée internationale par l'exécution de commandes très variées.'' Marges blanches présentant un écclat légèrement altéré. Du reste, très belle condition.…
