Mosaique: The Imperial Court of Napoleon III

André Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned photograph of a large group of people. The group is made up of approximately 130 individuals, mostly men, but also women and children. They are dressed in formal attire, predominantly dark suits and dresses. The group is arranged in multiple rows, with the back row standing and subsequent rows seated. The background of the photograph is a plain, light-colored wall. The photograph is mounted on a card with a beige border. At the bottom of the card, there is text that reads "MOSAIQUE" and "Breveté s.g.d.g." In the bottom-left corner, the text "Disdéri Phot" is visible. The card has a slightly aged appearance.
