Nadar (Gaspard-Félix Tournachon, 1820-1910) was a French photographer as well as journalist and caricaturist of the 19th century. His photos are mostly portraits of the prominent people of his day: Victor Hugo, George Sanders, Gustave Dore, Eugene Delacroix as well as poets, artists, writers, inventors etc.. that were famous then but not so well-known now. Aside from the few people who I recognized, I didn't find his work as interesting.
