Printmaking
Charles Marville was a French photographer and printmaker active in the mid-nineteenth century, known for his documentary photographs of Paris during the Second Empire and the city's transformation under Haussmann's urban renewal. Working primarily in albumen print and etching, he created extensive visual records of Parisian streets, monuments, and architecture that serve as invaluable historical documentation of the period. His work bridged the technical development of early photography with the traditions of architectural and topographical printmaking.
