French daguerreotypist and photographer. He spent his career with the French customs service and traveled widely. He learnt the Daguerreotype process soon after its announcement in 1839 and from 1842 to 1843 he traveled to Senegal and Guiana in Africa and Guadaloupe in the West Indies. En route to China in 1844 during a two week stay (3 July - 16 July) he took the earliest extant daguerreotypes of Singapore. In 1844 he headed a mission to China and took what are thought to be the earliest images of Macao and Canton. On 24 October 1844 he took a Daguerreotype of the signing of the Sino-French peace Treaty.

The Musée français de la Photographie has a collection of his surviving Daguerreotypes.
