Several close variant daguerrian self-portraits of the same pose exist, one at Bibliothèque Nationale.
 
"Girault de Prangey was introduced to the daguerreotype in 1841, probably in Paris. The first daguerreotypes he made and printed on plates that year were indeed views of Parisian monuments: Notre-Dame cathedral, Tuileries, Saint-Jacques tower, and the fountain of the Château d'eau. Unfortunately, due to a lack of documents, we do not know from whom he took lessons; we can at least assume that Hippolyte Bayard, a friend of Jules Ziegler, could have been his initiator…" (Sylvie Aubenas, La redécouverte d'un précurseur)

Baalbek is a town in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon, situated to the east of the Litani River. It is famous for its exquisitely detailed, yet monumentally scaled temple ruins of the Roman period, of which this is a fine example. Here, a grand Corinthian column is the focus of Girault de Prangey's image.

The Golden Gate is the oldest of the gates in Jerusalem's Old City walls. It has great religious significance: it is said that Jesus passed through this gate on Palm Sunday, and in Jewish tradition it is through this gate that the Messiah will enter Jerusalem. The gate is thought to have been sealed from as early as 11th century during Arab occupation of the city, to prevent the entry of the Messiah.

Religious Ceremony on Martinique

Daguerreotype
4 3/8 x 5 13/16 ins
 
J. Paul Getty Museum
The J. Paul Getty Trust (84.XT.1581.12)
 
Curatorial description (Accessed: 2 June 2018)
This photograph records the baptismal ceremony for the slaves of the West Indian island of Martinique, for whom the rite represented affirmation from the church of their recent emancipation from slavery. Within the densely packed throng, a white-robed group at lower center dissolves into a spectral blur, their exuberant movement uncontainable by the camera.
 
Abolishing slavery in all its colonies was one of the goals declared by the new French provisional government in early 1848. Although news of this objective reached Martinique in late March, freedom was not formally granted until May of that year.
