A serie of 13 reproductions of the portrait of Balzac is made by Marc Kereun to support the association.
This reproduction of the portrait of Balzac made by L.A. Bisson in 1842 is a true daguerreotype made today. The daguerreotype is an early type of photograph, developed by Louis Daguerre, in which the image is exposed directly onto a mirror-polished surface of silver bearing a coating of silver halide particles deposited by iodine vapor.
Thirteen daguerreotypes can today be acquired by joining the association with a donation of 650 euros. The daguerreotype #1/13 is booked by the Maison de Balzac in Paris which hosts the original plate of 1842.
