DAGUERRÉOTYPE Adolphe-Hyacinthe-Joseph by M. de LOOS, Comte de Madre, c. 1847 Mention in ink on the back of the montage: "From 1845 to 1848 - Probably 1847" Ovalized format: Height 7.3 Width 6.2 cm Montage: Height 11, Width 9.3 cm. Daguerreotype circa 1847 showing Adolphe-Hyacinthe-Joseph de M. de Loos Count of Madre. Condition: the daguerreotype shows several oxidation halos. Given its interest, a restoration is desirable. The family of Madre de Loos, which originated from the nobility of northern France, is related today through successive marriages to the royal families of Luxembourg, Liechtenstein and Austria. Adolphe-Hyacinthe-Joseph de M. de Loos (Cambrai, 1813 - Paris, 1894), Count of Madre, was created hereditary count by imperial decree of 29 May 1861. It is joined: Louis-Auguste BISSON (Paris, 1814-1876) Coat of arms of the family of Madre de Loos Drawing in colour, with very well preserved tones, bearing, in its centre, the initials of Auguste BISSON who, before practicing the daguerreotype, helped his father in his heraldic painting work. On the back of the coat of arms a handwritten text, dated June 1853, describes the genealogy of the Madre de Loos family. Ovalized coat of arms in the format: Height 16.4 Width 13 cm. Montage: Height 21.5 Width 16.3 cm. Auguste Bisson, a famous mountain photographer, remains with his brother as one of the most renowned daguerreotypists, leaving both images of Mont Blanc and an important portrait of Balzac. Another drawing of a quartered coat of arms, in unidentified colour, bearing the inscription "Pinxit Ludovicus de Malortie Compigny anno 1838", in the format 16.3 x 21.6 cm, is also attached.
