Monument at the Tomb of Daguerre
In 1853, during his first visit to France following the death of Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, Henry Meade traveled to Bry-Sur-Marne, where he was given the privilege of "operating in Daguerre’s laboratory." The daguerreotype images he made of Daguerre’s chateau and the monument at his tomb later appeared on cartes de visite issued by the Meade Brothers.
Copy after: Henry William Mathew Meade, 1822 - 1865
