Bisson Frères, the pioneering photographic duo of Louis-Auguste and Auguste-Rosalie Bisson, gained renown for their large-format images of architecture, landscapes, and historical monuments. They became particularly famous for their dramatic photographs of the French Alps, including the first successful photographic expedition to Mont Blanc in 1861. Known for their technical innovation and artistic composition, their work was instrumental in advancing photography both as an art form and a documentary tool. – Some handling creases, light fading and foxing, otherwise in very good condition.
