A rare and evocative stereo daguerreotype depicting the elaborate ironwork and decorative lighting of the famed Jardin Mabille in Paris, attributed to André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri, the French photographic innovator best known for popularizing the carte-de-visite. The view captures the intricate gaslit bandstand and promenade structures in remarkable clarity and dimensionality, suggesting an early effort to document the glamour and spectacle of the Parisian leisure scene. Visible benches, lamps, and ornamental balustrades evoke the atmosphere of the celebrated garden, a hub of fashionable nightlife during the Second Empire.

The daguerreotype is housed in its original dark mat stereo mount with new glass, with verso notations in period script reading “Jardin Mabille” and numbered “9.” The structure and visual clarity suggest a professional execution, likely for an elite clientele or exhibition. Stereo daguerreotypes of outdoor urban amusements from mid-19th century France remain exceptionally uncommon, particularly in this condition and with probable attribution to one of the pioneers of modern photographic portraiture.
