photographer

Around 1855 he opened a photo study at 9, Avenue de Ségur. He photographed well-known artists such as Henri Monnier , Camille Corot and Édouard Manet , as well as contemporaries unknown today, in the style of paintings and with heavy silk curtains and feudal pictorial elements. The albumin paper prints he surrounded - the contemporary taste following - with baroque-painting frames or those in the style of Louis XIV. , Louis XV. or Louis XVI. He was represented at several exhibitions of the Société Française de Photographie in 1863, 1964, 1865 and 1870. The works shown later were sold by the Nadar studio. Dallemagne ran his studio until 1872. Little is known about his further life.
