One of the earliest portrait photographs -- a daguerreotype --
represents the Danish artist Bertel Thorvaldsen. In spite of the
fact that the photograph is signed and dated there has been doubts
about the dating and the location of the taking of the picture.
Starting from the photography itself as well as the historical
facts the author sets the photography in its proper context.
Written sources material and other pictures are presented to throw
light on the photographer, the French businessman A C T Neubourg's
work in Scandinavia. Furthermore, the reader gains an insight into
the exposure as it is being reflected in the picture where an older
conception of art meets the new age of photography. The book also
contains an appendix by Jens Frederiksen (The Royal Academy of Fine
Arts School of Architecture, Copenhagen) on A C T Neubourg's
camera, lens and daguerreotypes.
