More Info:
Paul Marie Pierre Thureau-Dangin (14 December 1837 – 24 February 1913) was a French publicist, auditor and historian.
The son of a businessman who gave up his practice to devote himself to charitable works, Paul Thureau-Dangin grew up in a well-to-do, cultured Catholic environment. After studying at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand2, he went on to study law at the Faculty of Arts of the Sorbonne. He obtained a doctorate in law in 18623. He then prepared for the entrance exam to the Council of State, from which he came first in the ranking. He served as auditor from 1863 to 18684 But rather than aiming for a position as a master of requests, he finally turned to journalism.
With a few classmates (François Beslay, Étienne Récamier, the Comte de Chabrol, Heinrich, Emmanuel Cosquin, Albert Desjardins), he founded the liberal Catholic newspaper Le Français, which appeared for the first time on 1 August 1868 and of which he was from then on one of the main editors.
Beyond his role as a publicist, Paul Thureau-Dangin is best known for his historical work. His major work is The Catholic Renaissance in England in the nineteenth Century. This study, which focuses on the revival of Catholic ideas in Britain, has been described as masterful. She was compared by her contemporaries to Sainte-Beuve\'s Port-Royal. Also the author of a History of the July Monarchy (1884), Paul Thureau-Dangin was twice awarded the Grand Prix Gobert by the Académie française for this work alone, in 1885 and 18865.
By his convictions and commitment, Paul Thureau-Dangin is a second-generation liberal Catholic. This generation was between the end of the Second Empire and the beginning of the Third Republic. As such, he defended the idea of a Catholicism compatible with the idea of modernity and the republican regime.
He was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour by decree of 5 November 1877.
Elected to chair 37 of the Académie française in 1893, he became its perpetual secretary in 1908, until his death on 24 February 1913 in Paris. He was succeeded by Pierre de la Gorce in 1914.
The grave of Paul Thureau-Dangin is located in the Montparnasse cemetery (11th division). He lived there with his wife and father-in-law, the painter Louis-Pierre Henriquel-Dupont.

The Cabinet Card was a style of photograph which was widely used for photographic portraiture after 1870. It consisted of a thin photograph mounted on a card typically measuring 108 by 165 mm (4+1⁄4 by 6+1⁄2 inches). The carte de visite was displaced by the larger cabinet card in the 1880s. In the early 1860s, both types of photographs were essentially the same in process and design. Both were most often albumen prints, the primary difference being the cabinet card was larger and usually included extensive logos and information on the reverse side of the card to advertise the photographer’s services. However, later into its popularity, other types of papers began to replace the albumen process. Despite the similarity, the cabinet card format was initially used for landscape views before it was adopted for portraiture. Some cabinet card images from the 1890s have the appearance of a black-and-white photograph in contrast to the distinctive sepia toning notable in the albumen print process. These photographs have a neutral image tone and were most likely produced on a matte collodion, gelatin or gelatin bromide paper. Sometimes images from this period can be identified by a greenish cast. Gelatin papers were introduced in the 1870s and started gaining acceptance in the 1880s and 1890s as the gelatin bromide papers became popular. Matte collodion was used in the same period. A true black-and-white image on a cabinet card is likely to have been produced in the 1890s or after 1900. The last cabinet cards were produced in the 1920s, even as late as 1924. Owing to the larger image size, the cabinet card steadily increased in popularity during the second half of the 1860s and into the 1870s, replacing the carte de visite as the most popular form of portraiture. The cabinet card was large enough to be easily viewed from across the room when typically displayed on a cabinet, which is probably why they became known as such in the vernacular. However, when the renowned Civil War photographer Mathew Brady first started offering them to his clientele towards the end of 1865, he used the trademark \"Imperial Carte-de-Visite.\" Whatever the name, the popular print format joined the photograph album as a fixture in the late 19th-century Victorian parlor.
