dc.description.abstractJean (or Juan) Laurent lived in Madrid and started to work as a photographer in 1856, by opening a portrait gallery. In 1857 he was already taking stereoscopic views. Between 1861 and 1868 he was announced as the photographer for Queen Elizabeth II of Spain. In1869 he traveled to Portugal to obtain city views and portrait the Portuguese royal family. Laurent sold these photographs at his headquarters in Madrid and through an extensive network of depositaries in different Spanish and European cities, including Lisbon and Porto. All his negatives from Portugal were made with the technique of wet collodion glass plates, using a handcart as a photographic darkroom. Most of the copies were printed on albumen paper, while some others on Leptographic paper. The Laurent archive is preserved in Madrid, in the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute. In total there are about 12,000 negatives of the nineteenth century, made by Laurent and his hired photographers. Among the stereoscopic negatives (13 x 18 cm format) there are 78 views of Portugal, mainly from Lisbon, Batalha, Tomar, Coimbra, Porto, Setúbal and Évora. Other interesting negatives of Portugal are twelve glass plates in the gigantic panoramic format of 27 x 60 centimeters. However, most of the conserved negatives in Portugal are of the standard 27 x 36 cm format. All positive copies were obtained by contact, at the same size by trimming the edges. Albumen paper copies were mounted on separate cards or in albums. As of 1875, Laurent’s company was named J. Laurent y Compañía.en
