Lot Essay

In 1855, at the bequest of architect Hector Lefuel, Édouard-Denis Baldus began photographing every piece of statuary and ornamentation made for the vast complex linking the Louvre and Tuileries palaces. Baldus’ photographs of Napoleon III’s building projects were assembled in albums and presented by the emperor to government ministers, the imperial family and the then reigning monarchs of Europe.
