BAGUE MICROPHOTOGRAPHIE, CIRCA 1860De forme ovale, réhaussée d'émail noir, d'une perle de semence et de deux cabochons de rubis, surmontant un procédé de microphotographie par René Dagron (1819-1900) figurant une femme de face, microphotographie signée René Dagron, poinçon français d'occasion pour l'or 18K (750°/00), tour de doigt 60, poids brut 4.08 g.Footnotes:René Dagron (1819-1900), un photographe portraitiste français du 19e siècle, est célèbre pour avoir développé la technique de la 'microphotographie', qui consistait à fixer des images sur une petite lentille convexe grossissante et à placer ces minuscules photographies dans des bijoux, des objets de curiosité et des souvenirs. En 1859, le premier brevet de 'microfilm' a été délivré à Dagron sous le nom de 'bijoux photo-microscopiques' ou 'bijoux photo-microscopiques'. Le microfilm a été inventé pour la première fois par John Benjamin Dancer en 1851, qui utilisait des microscopes pour observer les images qui étaient capturées. Dagron a eu l'idée de développer l'observation des microfilms sans utiliser de microscope. Pour ce faire, il a modifié la forme des lentilles stanhope, ajustant la forme et la distance.La technique de microphotographie de René Dagron a permis d'obtenir des images nettes et détaillées à une échelle réduite sans perdre en qualité ou en clarté. Sa technique innovante a été présentée à l'Exposition Universelle de Londres en 1862. Lors de cette foire, il a reçu une mention honorable et a présenté un ensemble de microfilms à la reine Victoria. Dagron a de nouveau présenté sa technique sous forme de bagues, pendentifs, miniatures en ivoire et clés de montre à l'Exposition Universelle de Paris en 1867, où elles ont été largement saluées pour leur précision et leur ingéniosité.MICROPHOTOGRAPHY RING, CIRCA 1860Of oval form, highlighted by black enamel and set with a seed pearl and two cabochon rubies, surmonting a Stanhope viewer, within it a miniature photograph of a formal portrait of a Lady, microphotography process by René Dagron (1819-1900), french mark for 18 carat gold, ring size S, gross weight 4.08 grams.René Dagron (1819-1900), a 19th century French portrait photographer, is famous for having evolved the technique of 'microphotography', which consisted of affixing images to a miniature magnifying convex lens and placing these tiny photographs and viewers in jewellery, novelties and souvenirs. In 1859 the first ever 'microfilm' patent was granted to Dagron under the name of photo-microscopic jewellery or microscopic photo-jewellery. Microfilm was first invented by John Benjamin Dancer in 1851, who used microscopes to observe the images that were captured. Dagron had the idea to develop the observation of microfilms without the use of a microscope. To do this, he modified the shape of stanhope lenses, adjusting the shape and the distance. Dagron's microphotography technique allowed for sharp, detailed images at a reduced scale without losing quality or clarity. His innovative technique was presented at the 1862 London International Fair. At the London Fair he received an honourable mention and presented a set of microfilms to Queen Victoria. Dagron once again presented his technique in rings, pendants, ivory miniatures and watch keys at the 1867 International Fair in Paris, where they were widely praised for their precision and ingenuity.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
