Paperback. Condition: Very Good. VG++ 37 pp., 13 black and white photographs by Edouard-Denis Baldus; Henri Le Secq; Gustave Le Gray, and. O. Mestral. Cover photograph is of the Synod Hall from the marketplace in Sens (Yonne), 1851, by Baldus, previously unpublished. Exhibition catalog includes the essay "The History of the Mission: Photography and Architecture," detailed notes on each of the photographers, and a discussion of the materials used, including the glass negatives used by Bayard, the Talbot process used by Baldus, and the waxed paper negatives used by Le Gray. Also included is a list of Comparative Photographs, listing each in alphabetical order by town (Avignon, Blois, Carcassonne, etc.). Appearing in 1851, at the very moment the great works of restoration were being planned, these photographs provide "the only reliable evidence of the pre-restoration state of many of the monuments." A fascinating examination of the intersection of architecture, early photography, and restoration in mid-19th-century France.
