Le musée français : portraits des contemporains : dessinés d'après les meilleures photographies
Le musée français is an 1861 Paris portrait album published by the Journal amusant at 20 rue Bergère, presenting French contemporaries drawn from photographs for a general public. Its oval lithographic portraits of men in dark coats, some with beards, spectacles or cravats, show a restrained, uniform format that suits period biography layouts, framed vignettes, or a consistent set of editorial headshots.
