Damseaux, Émile de

DAMSEAUX, Émile de Châteaux de Belgique. 2nd part 19th c. 49 albumen photos (including 1 ornamental composition in introd.), pasted on strong cardboard support, titled labels (place + owner), 5 signed by the photographer on the cardboard. Damseaux (Liège 1830-1913 Spa), an artillery officer and member of the Ghlin town council, where he lived in the Château de Moncoureur, was a keen photographer. Between 1867 and 1887, he photographed castles in Belgium, from which the Vasseur brothers of Tournai printed 168 lithographs (out of at least 254 photos), which were distributed from 1872 to 1878 by the Montois bookseller Émile Dacquin under the title "Belgique pittoresque: les châteaux". "These photographs reflect the mission that the art of photography had set itself in the 19th century: to inventory the country's civil and religious monuments using silver images. Damseaux took part, in a personal capacity, with his photographs of castles, some of which have undergone transformations or disappeared" (cf. Christine Gobeaux, introductory note to the http://donum.bicfb.be database). Contents: Trieu de Bertaimont (Joseph Hubert estate), Bouchout (Count L. de Beauffort, 2 views), Zorgvliet (Ferd.
