A great leal of his work was photographing the historic buildings if Paris in detail. He made a series of photographs of paris of iron pill work, another of the fountains of Paris.
What sort of photographs of paris were these prints, which caused so much commotion? Just plain, straightforward itographs. But such photographs of paris! Different from the photographs of paris usually seen at the exhibitions? Yes. How different? There's the rub. If you could see them for yourself, you would at once appreciate their difference.
