STEREOSCOPIC DAGUERREOTYPE. Félix-Jacques MOULIN (1802-1879), attributed to. Study of female nude, young girl lying down, circa 1850. Stereoscopic daguerreotype, produced on 1/3 or 2/6 plate, 8.5 x 16.8 cm. Traces of rubbing. In addition to the toxicity of chemistry, the work of a daguerreotypist is not without danger. Following the example of Sieur Malacrida and the widow René, the judgment handed down on July 23, 1851 by the Seine Court of Assizes sentenced "Sieur Jacques-Antoine Moulin, daguerreotypist, to one month's imprisonment and a fine of 100 francs".
