'These large-format albumen prints [c. 1864-1869] enable the viewer to follow the progress of architect Charles Garnier's lavish Opera. Remarkable for their wealth of informational detail, the photographs are a milestone in the use of the medium for extended architectural documentation. They also provide a crucial stylistic link between the work of earlier French urban photographers, such as Charles Marville and Edouard Baldus, and the later photographs of Eugene Atget.' C.
