Rare original photograph portrait of Charles Baudelaire: “Everyone knows this portrait, with its ecclesiastical aspect and its bitter smile”

Carjat | Paris 1861 | photograph: 5,4 x 9,2 cm card: 6,1 x 10,4 cm | one photograph


Extremely rare original photograph on albumen paper showing Charles Baudelaire, contemporary print in carte de visite format, mounted on a board from the Carjat studio, 56 rue Laffitte:

“The chap looks quite young. His hair is cut short and is wavy on the temples without covering the ear. The poet is wearing a blouse or a loose overcoat with a black velvet collar and a tie with a big knot. Everyone knows this portrait, with its ecclesiastical aspect and its bitter smile. Portrait engraved by A. Nargeot, at the head of the Michel Lévy Frères éditions” (Ourousof, 1896)
 
 
This carte-de-visite portrait is made public in the specimen issue of Boulevard, the journal founded by Étienne Carjat, dated 1st December 1861. Although very famous, only ten copies of this portrait are known today and have been referenced by J. Desse (Une photo de Baudelaire..., 2020).
 
A beautiful, well contrasted photographic print.
