The Blacksmith

A Moment in Photographic History:
Trained as an artist before switching to photography, Édouard Baldus was June 5, 1813 in Grünebach, Prussia. Baldus was commission in 1851 to photograph historic buildings, bridges and monuments of France. It was important to record these structures as many were being razed to make way for the grand boulevards of Paris. Another of his greatest assignments was the documentation of the construction of the Louvre museum. In 1851, he pieced together fragments of 10 different 10x14 glass negatives to create a composite print of the medieval cloister of St. Trophime, in Arles.

A Photographic Quote of Note:
There's only one rule in photography - never develop colour film in chicken noodle soup.
