Monday's Photography Inspiration - Édouard Baldus

Édouard Baldus was a French photographer known for his pioneering work in architectural photography and his contributions to the documentation of French monuments and landscapes.

Entrée du Robinet

Photo by Edouard Baldus (French (born Prussia), 1813–1889)

In July 1861 the board of directors for the southern region of the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée Railroad commissioned Baldus to produce an album of views of the rail constructions and principal sites served by the line between Lyons, Marseilles, and Toulon. This line, especially the section linking Lyons and Avignon, followed trade routes established in antiquity alongside the Rhône, the most powerful river in France, whose strong current made navigation always difficult and perilous, and at times impossible. Perched on the very edge of the roadbed, Baldus photographed the track and the telegraph lines that ran parallel to it as they skirted along the east bank of the river at the Donzère Pass, the northern entrance to Provence. The ease with which the smooth rails recede into the distance and curve gently around the rugged cliff wall is an apt pictorial expression of the mastery of modern engineering over time and space. The photograph appears in the album "Chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée."

Проект считается одной из первых систематических попыток создания классификации и визуального каталога как в фотографической системе, так и в сфере охраны памятников. Это первый государственный проект в области фотографии.
