Fortuné Joseph PETIOT-GROFFIER (1788-1855, attributed to). The Saint-Laurent Bridge, Chalon-sur-Saône. Circa 1850-55. Albumen print mounted on card. Visual format approx. 24 x 16.5 cm; mounting format approx. 35.2 x 29.3 cm. Provenance: Home in Burgundy. Fortuné Joseph Petiot-Groffier (1788-1855), a leading industrialist and mayor of Chalon-sur-Saône, founded the Creusot sugar factory and saved it after the bankruptcy of the English company Manby and Wilson. As early as 1840, he took an interest in photography and opened his own laboratory, where he became acquainted with a number of photographers of the period, including Nicéphore Niépce, his cousin Niépce de Saint-Victor, Pierre Victor Plumier and Edouard Denis Baldus. It was with the latter that he traveled the roads of Auvergne, around 1854, before mysteriously dying in 1855. His photographic work was varied. In 1851, Fortuné Joseph Petiot-Groffier made the first tribute to Nicéphore Niépce by photographing his house. In 1853, having learned that it had been decided to demolish the great nave of the Hôpital de Chalon, the Société d'Histoire et d'Archéologie asked Petiot-Groffier to take "general views" of the building (to preserve its memory) prior to its demolition. Finally, in 1854, he became one of the founding members of the Société française de Photographie.

Male photographic portraits of photographer Fortuné Joseph PETIOT-GROFFIER (1788-1855). Set of two prints, including one salted paper print in poor condition. Average visual size approx. 20.1 x 16.6 and 22.1 x 17.3 cm. Provenance: Residence in Burgundy. Fortuné Joseph Petiot-Groffier (1788-1855), a major industrialist and mayor of Chalon-sur-Saône, founded the Creusot sugar factory and saved it after the bankruptcy of the English company Manby and Wilson. As early as 1840, he took an interest in photography and opened his own laboratory, where he became acquainted with a number of photographers of the period, including Nicéphore Niépce, his cousin Niépce de Saint-Victor, Pierre Victor Plumier and Edouard Denis Baldus. It was with the latter that he traveled the roads of Auvergne, around 1854, before mysteriously dying in 1855. His photographic work was varied. In 1851, Fortuné Joseph Petiot-Groffier made the first tribute to Nicéphore Niépce by photographing his house. In 1853, having learned that it had been decided to demolish the great nave of the Hôpital de Châlon, the Société d'Histoire et d'Archéologie asked Petiot-Groffier to take "general views" of the building (to preserve its memory) before its demolition. Finally, in 1854, he became one of the founding members of the Société française de Photographie.
