Description

Unknown (19th), City view, Avignon, France, around 1890, albumen paper print Unknown (19th century): City view, Avignon, France View from the bank of the Rhone to the Papal Palace, c. 1890, albumen paper print Technique: albumen paper print, mounted on Cardboard Date: c. 1890 Description: Original photograph with high sharpness of detail. An early testimony to travel photography. Around the middle of the 19th century, more and more tourists from middle-class circles travelled in Europe. At that time, photographs could only be taken with a great deal of time and expensive, unwieldy equipment. This made many tourists all the more grateful for the work of the professional photographer's studios on site to bring back a souvenir from afar for those who stayed at home or to collect as souvenirs. The photographers photographed the most famous sights of their hometowns and went on trips themselves to photograph the most popular destinations of their clients and offer them as albumen prints. Ancient art treasures were also photographed and offered to travellers. The high-quality photographs of sculptures and frescoes continued to make an important contribution to documenting art treasures and making them accessible to scholars from all over Europe, who previously had to rely on tracings or engravings if they could not view the original for themselves. Keywords: Papal palace, antipope, schism, architecture, cityscape, 19th century, Historicism, Architecture, France, Size: Cardboard: 24,5 cm x 35,8 cm (9,6 x 14,1 in)
