Édouard Baldus (1813–1889) Villeneuve-lès-Avignon. Flooding of the Rhône, 1856. Salted paper print, from a paper negative, mounted on cardboard, signed “EB,” titled, and numbered “No. 92” on the negative at the bottom. “E. Baldus” signature stamp in blue ink on the mount at the bottom right. 30.8 x 44.5 cm Bibliography: Malcolm Daniel, *The Photographs of Édouard Baldus*, New York / Montreal, Metropolitan Museum of Art - Canadian Center for Architecture, 1994, p. 70, fig. 54, p. 178, fig. 49. This photograph and the next are part of a panorama composed of six prints. “The panorama of the banks of the Rhône, taken from the Rocher des Doms in Avignon, is without a doubt the most beautiful print of its kind that we have seen. It consists of six views assembled with such skill—and so uniform in tone—that one might think they were taken at the same moment and in a single operation.” Ernest Lacan, “The Floods of 1856,” in *La Lumière*, August 9, 1856. The paper negative is preserved at the Musée d’Orsay.
