Hans P. Kraus Jr.’s selection
. Félix Teynard (French, 1817 – 1892)
This pair represents one image from Félix Teynard’s extensive 1851-1852 photographic record of Egypt’s monuments and landscape. Upon Teynard’s return to France these photographs were compiled into a book titled Égypte and Nubie. At Paris Photo we have the rare opportunity to view a Teynard print accompanied by its original paper negative.
. Louis-Emile Durandelle (French, 1839-1917)
The photographer Louis-Emile Durandelle is best known for his dramatic and graphically striking photographs showing the construction of the Paris Opéra and its sculptural elements. A Durandelle on view at Hans Kraus is an unusual glimpse of the Opéra’s architect, Charles Garrnier, posing in his studio during the time of the Opéra’s construction.
. Charles Nègre (French, 1820-1880)
Another rare positive/negative pair at our stand will be Charles Nègre’s “Notre Dame, Paris“. The cathedral is here seen as a unified work of art, thanks to the unobstructed view of the cathedral’s towers and portals captured by Nègre, something his contemporaries had been unable to achieve.
