  The photographs of Edouard Baldus. - HighBeam Encyclopedia
Edouard Baldus arrived in Paris to study painting in 1838 when he was twenty-five, shortly before Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre (1789-1851) first showed his magically precise photographic images to the world.
Baldus was a native of the small town of Grunebach, Germany, forty-five miles east of Cologne, and, according to some reports, he first embarked on a career as an artillery officer in the Prussian army before giving up arms for the brush in the early 1830's.
MALCOLM DANIEL, an assistant curator in the department of photographs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is one of the curators of the exhibition and the principal author of the accompanying catalogue, The Photographs of Edouard Baldus.

 The Photographs of Edouard Baldus: Landscapes and Monuments. (book reviews) - HighBeam Encyclopedia
Although Baldus (1813-1889) was active as a photographer and, later, as a publisher of photographs, the exhibition concentrates on his most creative decade, from circa 1851 to circa 1861, with a few exceptions.
Baldus appears in every history of photography and every anthology of architectural photography as the preeminent architectural photographer of the 1850s, the artist who, along with Charles Negre, virtually created the most important strategies for presenting both ancient and modern monuments in photographs.
Such an image is a vivid reminder that Baldus, who began his career as a painter, was known for his handling of perspective in Antwerp prior to 1837.

 PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEW; The Wonders of France Through an 1850's Lens - New York Times
Baldus was renowned in his own time for the technical command and formal beauty of his photographs; with the passage of time, his pictures have taken on interest of another sort, as a reflection of the conflicting concerns of French society poised on the brink of the modern era.
So adept was Baldus at the process, though, that it is often impossible to tell whether a given print was made from a paper negative or the sharper glass negatives he used in the mid-1850's.
Baldus was renowned for the sheer size of his pictures, which ranged up to eight feet long for one panorama from around 1855, made from several negatives.

The photographer Édouard Baldus (1813—1889), a central figure in the early development of French photography and acknowledged in his day as a pioneer in the still—experimental field, was widely acclaimed both for his aesthetic sensitivity and for his technical prowess.
Baldus made his reputation with views of the monuments of Paris and the south of France, with dramatic landscapes of the Auvergne, with photographs of the New Louvre, and with a poignant record of the devastating floods of 1856.

After focusing on the chief monuments of the French capital in 1852, Baldus traveled again to the south of France in the autumn of 1853, approaching his subjects with a rigor that banished precisely those picturesque elements and anecdotal details traditionally considered necessary to animate topographic prints of the period.
The following summer, Baldus coursed the dirt roads of the countryside by horse-drawn cart, moving from ruined castle to thatched hut, from pilgrimage church to paper mill, from town square to wooded chasm, through the fertile lowlands and rugged mountains of the Auvergne, in central France.
Baldus' photographs of the grandest of Napoleon III's building projects were assembled in albums (four volumes in each set) and presented by the emperor to government ministers, the imperial family, and the reigning monarchs of Europe.

Although the Metropolitan Museum of Art mounted a superb retrospective of Baldus' salted paper and albumen prints almost ten years ago, the French photographer, active during the 1850s, is not yet a household name.
At the time of Baldus' visit, Frederic de Mercey, "a forgotten public figure," as curator James A. Ganz puts it, his English wife, and their twin sons used the chateau, last renovated in 1827, and its manicured grounds as a country estate.
"Édouard Baldus: Landscape and Leisure in Early French Photography" not only provides a fuller picture of a great cameraman's achievements and those of his contemporaries, it also calls attention to an aristocratic painter and adminstrator who played an important role in the artistic life of his time.

The railroad, traveling at three times the speed of a horse and carriage, was a unifying element in France, literally and figuratively bridging the country's various regions and promoting an unprecedented sense of nationhood.
If an individual or a carriage moved away from its initial position, a faint impression was captured on the negative and appeared in the print.
While Baldus made this exposure, the horse and carriage repeatedly moved, twice stopping long enough to be faintly recorded on the negative.

The large and regal prints made by Édouard-Denis Baldus are widely agreed to be among the finest photographic images ever produced.
After serving as an artillery officer in the Prussian army, Baldus left his native country for France during the 1830s to become a painter.
He exhibited his paintings of religious subjects, portraits, and genre scenes in the Paris Salons from 1841-51 and was naturalized as a French citizen in 1849, the same year his interests turned to photography.

Renowned in his lifetime yet virtually forgotten today, Baldus (1813-1889) established classic visual modes for the new medium of photography as he documented on paper negatives France's Roman antiquities; national memorials and architecture, including sections of the Louvre then under construction; countryside studies presaging Impressionist painting; and the development of the national railroad network.
Daniel, a photography curator at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, shows how at the height of his career in Second Empire France, Baldus could sum up an architectural monument in a single, fully resolved image; 177 examples of his work are included in this collection, which will be of interest primarily to specialists.
Published in conjunction with an exhibition traveling from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal and the Musee National des Monuments Francais in Paris, during 1994 and 1995.
