- Info created by Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard himself and workshop - uploaded, stitched, restored and nominated by me -- Jebulon (talk) 15:28, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
- Support A 1869 self-portrait of Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard (1802-1872), french chemist, printer and photographer, inventor of the albumen print process in photography. This chemical process was the first way and step to mass reproductions of photographs. Thanks to him, since the 1850s, each photographic print is no more an unique work of art, and can be reproduced ad libitum. In my opinion, this scientist deserves a special place in the "Hall of Fame" of "Commons". Moreover it is a very high quality picture for that time (I've restored it by cleaning the spots, tears and dirt), please enjoy the level of details at full size.-- Jebulon (talk) 15:28, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
- Btw, the original file (before restoration) is available as first upload in the file page. Thx.--Jebulon (talk) 15:42, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
