André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri

André Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri (French: [?~d?e ad?lf ø??n dizde?i]; 28 March 1819 – 4 October 1889) was a French photographer who started his photographic career as a daguerreotypist but gained greater fame for patenting his version of the carte de visite, a small photographic image which was mounted on a card.

Disdéri, a brilliant showman, made this system of mass-production portraiture world famous.
