Biography:
Andre Adolphe-Eugene Disderi was initially a merchant, an actor, and a daguerreotypist before he invented the carte-de-visite in 1854. The invention was a small portrait about the size of a business card that could be used for the same purpose. Disderi established a second studio in Paris in 1862 that was devoted to equestrian portraits. Disderi’s invention remained popular until the late 1860’s when it was replaced by the cabinet card. He then photographed the siege of Paris in 1870 and 1871. After bankruptcy, he moved to Nice and began studios there. After returning to Paris at the end of his life, Disderi was put into an institution where he died in 1889.
