FRATELLI ALINARI (19th) Circle, Interior view. Madeleine, Paris, around 1880, albumen paper print Fratelli Alinari (19th century) Circle: Frankreich: "Intérieur de l'Église de la Madeleine", Innenansicht von La Madeleine in Paris, c. 1880, albumen paper print Technique: albumen paper print, mounted on Cardboard Date: c. 1880 Description: The Madeleine Church, which the photograph shows from the inside, is located between the Place de la Concorde and the Opéra Garnier in Haussmann's Paris. Its construction began in 1764 and ended in 1842, and it is surprisingly shaped like a Greek temple without a cross or bell tower, which is unusual for a religious building. At the bottom of the image, the inscription "Intérieur de l'Église de la Madeleine. X. Phot.". Original photograph with high sharpness of detail. An early example of travel photography. Around the middle of the 19th century, more and more tourists from bourgeois circles travelled around Europe. At that time, photographs could only be taken at great expense in terms of time and with expensive, unwieldy equipment. This made many tourists all the more grateful for the work of the professional photographer's studios on site, so that they could bring back a souvenir from their holiday home or collect them as mementos. The photographers photographed the most famous sights of their home towns and cities and travelled themselves to photograph their customers' favourite destinations 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 the art treasures and making them accessible to scholars from all over Europe, who previously had to rely on copies or engravings if they were unable to view the original themselves.
