Eduard Isaac Asser (October 19, 1809 – September 21, 1894) was a lawyer and Dutch amateur photographer. Asser was born in Amsterdam and became a successful lawyer and was thus able to afford his photography hobby, which was very expensive at the time. His experiments with Daguerrotype were initially reproductions of academic art. He is best known for his efforts to make the photographic printing process cheaper, most notably with his patent on the ''Procédé Asser'' in 1858, a photolithography process.〔According to the ''Bulletin de la Société francaise de Photographie'', Belgian patent nr. BE 7042, 21 January 1859〕 He was an editor of the Dutch photography magazine and member of the Amsterdam photographers' society ''Helios''. Asser died in Amsterdam and he is considered the father of photography in the Netherlands. His descendants gave 200 of his earliest photos from 1839-1860 to the national collection in 1993. Since then they have been kept in the Rijksmuseum. Besides using art studio techniques for still lifes, Asser took many pictures of his family, most notably a childhood portrait of Tobias Asser.〔(Tobias M.C.
