Vicaire VII-727; Dendaletche-1748 "Here is a trip to the Pyrenees my dear Marcelin - writes Taine in his dedication -; I have been there; it is a merit: many people have written about it from their homes. But I have serious faults and they demean me greatly. I have not been the first to climb any inaccessible mountain; I have not broken any legs or arms; I have not been eaten by bears; I have not saved any young Englishwoman swept away by the Gave; I have not married any of them; I have not witnessed any duel; I have not seen any tragedy involving brigands or smugglers. I have walked a great deal; I have talked a little; I recount the pleasures of my ears and eyes.” dedication to Émile Planat dit Marcelin 1829-1887. HACHETTE unknown

The print is made directly from a negative without chemical development producing a glossy light-sensitive image. It was the dominant photographic positive method from the mid-1850s to the early 20th century especially for carte-de-visite portraits." - See Wikipedia.
