  • Jean-Baptiste Louis Gros (1793–1870) was a French ambassador and one of the first daguerrotypists. Baron and French chargé d'affaires in Bogotá (1838–1842), Athens (1850) and Ambassador to London (1852–1863) - during which period he also travelled to China and Japan in 1857 and 1858 — he produced many famous daguerrotypes — chief among them those of the Acropolis. Gros led French troops in China during the Anglo-French expedition to China (1856-1860). In 1858, the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between France and Japan was signed in Edo on October 9, 1858, by Jean-Baptiste Louis Gros, opening diplomatic relations between the two countries. While he is best-known for his daguerrotypes, his paintings of Latin American landscapes are — while few — quite striking in their realism. He photographed The Great Exhibition in London in 1851.
  • Jean-Baptiste Louis Gros, diplomate français, fut l'un des premiers daguerréotypeurs. Chargé d'affaires à Bogota de 1838 à 1842, à Athènes en 1850 et ambassadeur à Londres de 1852 à 1863 - période pendant laquelle il voyaga en Chine et au Japon entre 1857 et 1858 - il produit plusieurs fameux daguerréotypes, parmi eux des vues de l'Acropole. Bien qu'il soit mieux connu pour ses daguerréotypes, ses peintures de paysages d'Amérique du Sud — bien que rares — sont remarquables et réalistes.
