- Lot Description
Edouard Baldus (French, born Grunebach, Westphalia, Germany, 1813-1889), Nimes Amphitheatre, albumen print from wet collodion negative, ca. 1860. A view of the exterior of a two story amphitheater in Nimes, built in the Roman style with two series of colonnades. Baldus was one of the most admired architectural photographers of his time. He began his career as a painter, but turned to photography in 1849 when the medium was very young. The Commission des Monuments Historiques (Historic Monuments Commission) asked Baldus to document architecture in France in 1851. These assignments, called missions héliographiques were a special honor for photographers during this period, and in 1855 Baldus was also asked to document the construction of the Musée du Louvre. Size: 8" L x 10.75" W (20.3 cm x 27.3 cm); 17.125" L x 19.75" W (43.5 cm x 50.2 cm) including frame.
Interestingly, the technology to make photographic enlargements did not yet exist in the 1850s, so Baldus's photographs were actually contact prints made from large negatives - some as large as 10 x 14 inches. He was also known to join together several negatives to produce impressive panoramas on a grand scale.
