At the top left the number "59" written with a red stamp. Iconographic description: the saint-sulpice fountain, place saint-sulpice, 6th arrondissement, paris. The view is reversed. On the left of the image, a café with “cafe” written on the front. Registration on the second floor of the “biais aize” building. Sculptures. Historical commentary: the relief effect on this daguerreotype which has not been straightened (inverted view) is very important. We can speak here of a hyperstereoscopic effect. Duboscq in his patent nº13069 of february 16, 1852 (add. Certificate) explicitly describes his practice "taking successively from the same distance with a single daguerreotype and from equal angles two images of the statue, the bas-relief, the group, the landscape, etc. , or two portraits of the same person". The saint-sulpice fountain is the work of louis visconti (1791-1853). It was built from the summer of 1843 to the summer of 1848.
