Charles Paul Furne was a French photographer and publisher active in the 1850s, working within the Furne family firm on early photographic surveys of France. His activities ranged from landscape views and urban surveys to large-scale publishing ventures, including a sustained photographic survey of Brittany undertaken in 1857-1858 with Henri Alexis Omer Tournier. While Furne’s work is less widely known today than that of contemporaries such as Édouard Baldus and Gustave Le Gray, it remains significant for its contribution to the development of early French landscape photography.
