EDITORS COMMENTS
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. The photolithograph was created by Lemercier et Cie in London, England around 1853-1854. 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. Its muscular frame is highlighted against a dark background, emphasizing its strength and primal energy. Bisson Freres' ability to capture such an awe-inspiring creature demonstrates their mastery of early photographic techniques and their commitment to pushing artistic boundaries. This extraordinary piece from the Liszt Collection provides us with a glimpse into both natural history and early photography practices. It serves as a testament to mankind's fascination with wildlife and our desire to document these magnificent creatures for future generations.
