"Disdéri devant une tête qui l’inspire énormément."

This comic strip humorously portrays the different levels of inspiration the photographer Disdéri experiences while photographing various subjects. The progression in the panels suggests an increasing emotional or artistic response, from indifference to profound inspiration. Cham, a well-known caricaturist of the time, captures the humor and charm of Disdéri's role as a photographer.
