Carte de visite by Étienne Carjat

Western man in Bedouin dress. Cabinet card, “[photographie] Ét. Carjat, 10 Rue Notre Dame de Lorette, au rez de chaussée [with a ground floor entrance], Paris.”


Étienne Carjat studied with Pierre Petit before founding the magazine ‘Le Boulevard,’ to which Charles Baudelaire contributed. After an initial period during which his CDVs won prizes at universal exhibitions, he sold his workshop to [G. M.] Legé and Bergeron, who promoted their tie to Carjat. He continued to take photographs at 62 Rue Jean-Baptiste-Pigalle 1866-69 and then at 10 Rue Notre Dame de Lorette.
