EDITORS COMMENTS
This carte de visite (CDV) features a portrait photograph by the renowned German-born photographer, Charles Reutlinger (1816-1881). Taken circa 1867, this image was a testament to Reutlinger's exceptional skill and artistry, which earned him the prestigious first prize at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1867. The mid-19th century exhibition, also known as the Paris World's Fair, showcased the latest advancements in science, art, and industry from around the world. Reutlinger's victory in the photography category solidified his reputation as a leading figure in the field. The CDV itself is a small, rectangular photograph mounted on a thin piece of cardstock, making it an ideal format for exchanging portraits during the Victorian era. The subject's enigmatic expression and sharp focus convey a sense of sophistication and mystery. The intricately textured fabric of their clothing and the delicate details in their features are rendered with remarkable clarity, demonstrating Reutlinger's mastery of the wet collodion process, a popular photographic technique during the 1860s. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of artistic innovation and discovery. The combination of Reutlinger's technical prowess and artistic vision resulted in a timeless portrait that continues to captivate viewers more than a century later.
