Description
BISSON FRERES Porte Rouge, 1852-1862, Salt Print 14x8.75 ASG# BF/1001 on 21.5x13.8" album page with printed title and credit.
A large early architectural view of the Red Door and surrounding front of this church.
The Bisson brothers, Louis-Auguste (1814-1876) and Auguste-Rosalie (1826-1900), were among the best-known French photographers of their day. The elder brother worked as an architect for the city of Paris and his younger sibling worked for their father, who was a painter by trade. Their first foray together was in a firm set up by their father, Bisson pere et fils, that specialized in daguerreotype portraiture. In the early 1850s, after switching to the negative/positive process, they began photographing the works of Rembrandt and Durer, and then turned to architectural photography. The brothers made large prints of historic monuments from all over Europe. These prints went into the making of Reproductions photographiques des Plus Beaux Types de Architecture that was released in installments spanning the years 1853-1862. Credit Luminous
