This print showcases the work of Bisson Freres, a French photography studio active during the mid-19th century. The image features a majestic gorilla, captured with remarkable detail and precision by Louis-Amedee Mante, a renowned French photographer of that era.

Measuring approximately 27.6 x 19.5 cm (10 7/8 x 7 11/16 in. ), this salted paper print truly brings out the intricate textures and expressive nature of the subject. In this photograph, we see the gorilla's powerful presence as it gazes directly into the lens with an intense yet enigmatic expression.
