Members of Eynard Family and Friends (daguerreotype (photograph); Jean-Gabriel Eynard (Swiss daguerreotypist, 1775-1863) ; ca.1846; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 84.XT.255.11)

Note: Members of Jean-Gabriel Eynard's family and friends are gathered on the steps at Beaulieu, one of his country houses. Eynard's uncharacteristic absence from the scene indicates that he operated the camera himself, as well as posed the sitters. The patterns of the striped dresses and the delicately intertwined vines on the curtains add materially to the visual interest of the image.The three seated children, Eynard's great-nephews and great-niece, appear as young adults in a later daguerreotype by Eynard. His wife Anna is the woman seated at left, and their adopted daughter is in the center.
