Description:
A salt print after an engraving, mounted beneath glass and sealed with gold paper; on the lid of thick card box. Cream and gold paper with floral decoration covers the sides. An early example of the application of photography in the manufacture of souvenirs and memorabilia. The tiara, dress and distinctive hairstyle suggests that the sitter is Empress Eugénie, consort of Napoleon III, whose celebrity status made her a popular subject for little trinkets such as this box and other marketable merchandise.
