Édouard Baldus, a pivotal figure in 19th-century architecture and landscape photography, played a crucial role in establishing photography as a vital tool for documenting and preserving architectural heritage. Renowned for his expansive photographic campaigns across France, Baldus captured monuments, railway routes, and cityscapes that represent some of the era’s most striking architectural views.
