Charles Marville (French, 1813-1879)

"Gare de l'Ouest (Montparnasse)," 1864-1870

Albumen print from a collodion negative

36.0 x 23.1 cm

 

Charles Marville was commissioned in the 1860s to produce a series of views of the old streets and buildings of Paris before their destruction in the wake of Haussmann’s transformation of the city during the Second Empire. By the 1870s he was documenting the new streetlamps, examples of the emergence of Paris as a city of luxury, modernity, and light. The albumen print of “Gare de l'Ouest (Montparnasse)” is a fine example of the clarity and close attentiveness to detail and structure Marville achieves in his elegantly composed lamppost pictures.
