Photography
Édouard Baldus was a French photographer active in the mid-nineteenth century, known for large-format architectural and landscape photography. Working primarily with the calotype and collodion processes, he documented French monuments, railway infrastructure, and the Mediterranean coast with a precision that established photography as a tool for both engineering record and aesthetic inquiry. His systematic surveys of French cultural heritage influenced the development of documentary photography in Europe.
