Auguste-Rosalie Bisson
Auguste-Rosalie Bisson (born May 1, 1826 in Paris , France, † April 22, 1900 there ) was a French photographer and photography pioneer .
Life
Auguste-Rosalie Bisson was the son of Heraldry - painter Louis-François Bisson (1795-1865) and the younger brother of the photographer Louis-Auguste Bisson (1814-1876).
Auguste-Rosalie Bisson learned the technique of daguerreotype and photography from his father and older brother. The father and Auguste-Rosalie Bisson opened a photo studio in 1841, which soon became known throughout Paris. Auguste-Rosalie soon got into a partnership for the photo studio with Louis-Auguste and the two became famous as the Bisson brothers (" Frères Bisson ").
Auguste-Rosalie Bisson was active as a photographer from 1841 until the year of his death in 1900. Together with his brother, he was the first person to take pictures of the summit of Mont Blanc in the summer of 1861 .
On the occasion of the inauguration of the Suez Canal , the Parisian family business Léon & Lévy Bisson, which specializes in stereoscopy , financed the “Journey on the Nile ”, of which around 300 images were reproduced.
In 1977, photographic works by both brothers were shown at documenta 6 in Kassel in the famous photography department, which presented the connection to contemporary art in the context of “150 years of photography”.
